Do This With That Stuff
- ‘Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C)
- Use your oven mitt to safely handle the baking sheet and lightly grease it, or line it with parchment paper for easy removal of cookies
- In your large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 tsp baking soda, and 1/4 tsp salt using your whisk until well mixed
- In the medium mixing bowl, use your electric mixer or spatula to cream together 1/2 cup softened unsalted butter, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and 1/2 cup packed brown sugar until light and fluffy This should take about 2-3 minutes if using an electric mixer on medium speed
- To this butter-sugar mixture, add 1 large egg and 1 tsp vanilla extract Mix well until fully incorporated
- Gradually add the dry ingredients from the large mixing bowl into the wet ingredients in the medium mixing bowl Mix just until combined Do not overmix as this can result in tough cookies
- Fold in the 1 cup of chocolate chips using your spatula until evenly distributed throughout the dough
- Using a spoon or your hands, drop rounded tablespoonfuls of dough onto your prepared baking sheet Ensure there is enough space between each cookie as they will spread while baking
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes or until golden brown around edges but still soft in center
- Using your oven mitts, remove the baking sheet from the oven and let cookies cool on it for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack with a spatula to cool completely’

Beti’s Reflections
As an adventurous foodie, I’m always on the hunt for the next delicious discovery. On a recent road trip through the heartland of America, I stumbled upon a delightful treat that had me smitten at first bite – the Choco-Chip Munchie Madness. This Easy American Dessert Recipe was shared with me by a charming grandma in a quaint little bakery in Ohio, and it’s been my go-to Homemade Chocolate Chip Cookies recipe ever since.
Today, I’m thrilled to share this Soft and Fluffy Cookie Recipe with you all. Perfectly portioned for two people, this Best Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe is an absolute delight with no dietary restrictions or health conditions to consider. So, let’s dive into the Choco-Chip Munchie Madness!
The magic of this recipe lies in its simple yet flavorful ingredients. We start with 1 cup all-purpose flour, which forms the base of our cookies, giving them their soft and fluffy texture. A pinch of baking soda and salt are added to balance out the sweetness from our sugars – 1/4 cup granulated sugar and 1/2 cup packed brown sugar. The unsalted butter gives our cookies their rich taste while an egg binds everything together beautifully. A dash of vanilla extract adds that extra depth of flavor that makes these cookies truly irresistible! And finally, we can’t forget about our star ingredient – 1 cup chocolate chips that melt into gooey perfection.
Now onto the fun part – baking! Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) and prepare your baking sheet by lightly greasing it or lining it with parchment paper for easy cookie removal later on. In your large mixing bowl, whisk together your dry ingredients – flour, baking soda, and salt until well mixed. In another bowl, cream together butter and sugars until light and fluffy using an electric mixer or spatula. Add in your egg and vanilla extract, mixing well until fully incorporated. Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ones, being careful not to overmix as this can result in tough cookies. Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough. Drop rounded tablespoonfuls of dough onto your prepared baking sheet, ensuring enough space between each cookie as they will spread while baking. Bake for about 10-12 minutes or until golden brown around edges but still soft in center. Let them cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack to cool completely.
And there you have it – your very own Choco-Chip Munchie Madness! This Easy Choco-Chip Munchie Madness Recipe is a testament to the beauty of American Dessert Recipes and their ability to bring joy with every bite. So go ahead, whip up a batch of these Homemade American Chocolate Chip Cookies and let me know how you liked them! Until next time, happy baking!
