Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 350 g (12.35 ounces) self-raising flour
- 2 eggs
- 225 g (7.9 ounces) caster sugar
- 100 g (3.5 ounces) chocolate chips
Supporting Ingredients:
- 175 g (6.2 ounces) soft margarine
Instructions
- Prepare the baking workspace by arranging oven racks and lining metal sheets with non-stick parchment, heating the oven to 180°C.
- Whip margarine and sugar together until achieving a light, airy texture with no visible sugar crystals.
- Incorporate eggs gradually, mixing thoroughly after each addition to ensure smooth integration.
- Gently fold flour into the creamy mixture, transforming the ingredients into a soft, cohesive dough.
- Distribute chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough, ensuring consistent chocolate distribution.
- Use a tablespoon to portion dough onto prepared baking sheets, pressing each mound slightly to create a flatter profile.
- Slide trays into preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, watching for golden edges and a set center as indicators of doneness.
- Transfer cookies to wire cooling rack, allowing them to rest and firm up completely before serving or storing.
Notes
- Swap margarine for butter to enhance rich, traditional flavor and improve overall texture.
- Chill dough for 30 minutes before baking to prevent excessive spreading and create thicker, chewier cookies.
- Use high-quality dark chocolate chips for deeper, more complex chocolate taste and slightly less sweetness.
- For gluten-free version, replace wheat flour with almond or gluten-free blend, ensuring same soft cookie consistency.
