Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened Should be at room temperature for best mixing results.
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips Ensure chocolate chips are Halal-certified.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and fluffy.
  3. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually beat the dry mixture into the wet mixture until just combined.
  5. Gently fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  6. Drop spoonfuls of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving enough space in between for spreading.
  7. Bake for about 9-11 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. They will look slightly underdone in the center.
  8. Remove from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For thicker cookies, chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. You can use coconut oil for a dairy-free version or replace chocolate chips with dried fruits or nuts for a different flavor twist. Store cookies in an airtight container for up to a week or freeze cookie dough for up to 3 months.
