Servings: 4 dozen
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups (12 oz/340 g) butter, softened
- 1 ⅓ cups (8 oz/225 g) dark brown sugar
- 1 cup (8 oz/225 g) granulated sugar
- 4 cups (1 lb 4 oz/568 g) all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ cup (2 fl oz/60 ml) water
- 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups (12 oz/340 g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C) convection (fan assist)* and line 3 baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
-
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream the butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar on high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
-
In a separate, medium bowl, combine the flour, salt and baking soda.
-
On low speed, add the flour mixture to the butter and mix until combined. The mixture will be crumbly.
-
Add in the water and vanilla and mix until the dough is formed. Finally, fold in the chocolate chips.
-
Roll 1 tablespoon-sized scoops of dough into balls, then flatten until the dough is ¼-inch (6mm) thick and place 2-inches (5 cm) apart on the prepared baking sheets.
-
Bake the cookies for 10 -12 minutes, until cookies are golden brown. Once out of the oven immediately do a 'pan bang' on the counter to create a crinkle on top. Allow to cool completely on the tray.
-
Enjoy the cookies with a big glass of cold milk. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
Recipe Notes
*If you use a conventional oven with no fan for baking these cookies, they will take longer time compared to this recipe. In this case, start checking them after about 15 minutes.
