Indulge in fresh-baked cookies without guilt—it's snack time! With basic pantry staples, you can whip up a batch of irresistible treats in no time.
For about 30 cookies, cream together 110 g soft butter, 100 g powdered sugar, and 100 g brown sugar (like moist vergeoise). Beat until smooth and creamy. Incorporate 225 g flour, a pinch of salt, 1 tsp baking powder, a few drops vanilla extract, and 1 whole egg. Mix thoroughly with a spatula, then by hand. Fold in chocolate chips, shavings, or your favorites.
Divide dough in half, shape into logs, and slice into rounds. Arrange on parchment-lined baking sheets. Bake 8-10 minutes at 180°C (thermostat 6) in a preheated oven. For that ideal crispy-outside, soft-inside texture, avoid overbaking. Cool on racks or enjoy warm. Pro tip: Chill dough 30-60 minutes before baking for thick, beautifully shaped cookies that hold their form.
Customize endlessly: classic nuts and chocolate chips, zesty orange with white chocolate, or raisins and cinnamon. Experiment confidently—these combos always deliver.
