Calories: 161kcal
Ingredients
- ½ cup butter, softened to a cool room temperature 113g
- ½ cup dark brown sugar 106g
- ¼ cup granulated sugar 50g
- 1 large egg
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¾ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1¾ cups all-purpose Einkorn flour 245g
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips 170g
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- In a large bowl, combine the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract and combine
- Add the baking powder, baking soda, and salt and combine.
- Add the Einkorn flour and combine. Stir in the chocolate chips.
- Shape 2 tablespoons of dough into a round ball for each cookie, placing 9-12 on a baking sheet. Bake at 350°F for 9 minutes. With a yield of 20 cookies, you'll need to bake two rounds of cookies. While you can put two baking sheets in the oven at the same time, I recommend baking one batch at a time.Remove when the cookies are just starting to brown slightly at the edges, but are still soft in the middle for gooey cookies. Let the cookies rest for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool fully.
Notes
- Oven Temperature: Preheat the oven 30 minutes prior to baking. Ovens do not always display the correct temperature and can take longer to preheat than they indicate. To be really sure of the oven temperature, consider buying a separate oven thermometer that gets placed in the oven. It will give you a better understanding of the actual temperature. You can move it around in the oven to see if there are any hot spots.
- Weighing Ingredients: For the best results, weigh your ingredients in grams with a kitchen scale, particularly the flour. There's no standard way to measure flour by volume. To get an accurate amount, a kitchen scale is needed. If you don't have a kitchen scale, for this recipe use the dip-and-sweep method.
- When are the Cookies Done: The cookies are done when the edges are starting to turn a light golden brown. The centers will look like they are not fully baked. It can be hard to see in the lighting of the oven, but err on the side of less time rather than more time, especially if you like more gooey cookies.
- Test Cookie: It's always a good idea to bake 1 cookie first before baking a whole dozen, especially when trying a new recipe. This first test cookie will give you an indication of whether the butter is too soft and the dough needs a short while to chill in the fridge, or the oven is running hot and you'll need to reduce the baking time.
- Cookie Upgrade: If you want to upgrade your cookies, use higher quality chocolate. Ghirardelli and Guittard are both good brands that are widely available.
