Description

Byron Bay Chocolate Chip Cookies are perfectly chewy with a soft center and slightly crisp edges, enriched with a rich buttery flavor and generous chunks of melty chocolate. This easy-to-follow recipe uses simple, high-quality ingredients to create a classic cookie that’s versatile and customizable for any dietary needs.

Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Main Add-ins

  • 2 cups quality chocolate chunks or chips (dark, milk, or mixed)

Instructions

  1. Prepare your ingredients: Bring butter and eggs to room temperature for even mixing. Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. Cream butter and sugars: In a large bowl, beat softened unsalted butter with brown and granulated sugars until creamy and light in color to aerate the mixture.
  4. Add eggs and vanilla: Beat in eggs one at a time followed by vanilla extract, mixing until just combined without overmixing.
  5. Combine wet and dry ingredients: Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined to avoid tough cookies.
  6. Fold in chocolate chunks: Stir in chocolate chunks or chips evenly for melty chocolate in every bite.
  7. Scoop and bake: Use a cookie scoop or spoon to place dough balls about 5cm apart on the baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden but centers remain soft.
  8. Cool and enjoy: Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to set while maintaining chewiness.

Notes

  • Use room temperature ingredients for even mixing and smooth dough.
  • Do not overbake; remove cookies when edges are set but centers look slightly soft to keep chewiness.
  • Chilling the dough for 30 minutes enhances flavor and reduces spreading.
  • Quality chocolate chunks yield richer flavor and better melting.
  • Adjust sugar ratios: more brown sugar increases chewiness, more white sugar adds crispness.
