🍪 The Best Ever Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe 🍪

🌟 Introduction
There’s nothing quite like the aroma of freshly baked chocolate chip cookies wafting through a cozy kitchen. It’s a scent that brings back childhood memories, late-night baking with loved ones, and moments of pure comfort. This recipe isn’t just good—it’s legendary. A blend of buttery richness, soft texture, and the perfect balance of sweetness and crunch. Whether you’re baking for family, friends, or a romantic evening in, these cookies are a love letter in every bite.
🍫 History & Formation of the Chocolate Chip Cookie
The chocolate chip cookie was invented in the 1930s by Ruth Wakefield, owner of the Toll House Inn in Massachusetts. She added chopped chocolate from a Nestlé bar into cookie dough, expecting it to melt. Instead, the chocolate held its shape, and a classic was born. Nestlé eventually struck a deal with Ruth, printing her recipe on their packages in exchange for a lifetime supply of chocolate.
This recipe adds a modern twist with vegetable oil for extra softness, cornstarch for tenderness, and powdered sugar for a melt-in-your-mouth texture—creating what may just be your new favorite cookie.

🛒 Ingredients (Makes 25–30 cookies)

- 100 ml vegetable oil (about ½ cup)
- 1 large egg
- 10 g baking powder (2 tsp)
- 10 g vanilla sugar (1 tbsp, or 1 tsp vanilla extract)
- 200 ml cornstarch (about ¾ cup)
- 200 g powdered sugar (about 1½ cups)
- 700 ml all-purpose flour (about 2¾ cups)
- 1½ cups chocolate chips or chopped chocolate (dark, milk, or mix)
Optional:
- Pinch of salt (brings out the flavor)

🧑🍳 Instructions & Method
🔪 Step 1: Prep the Base
In a large mixing bowl:
- Cream the softened butter and powdered sugar until smooth and fluffy.
- Add in the vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla sugar. Mix until well combined.
🥄 Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients
In another bowl:
- Sift together the flour, cornstarch, and baking powder.
- Slowly add this to the wet ingredients, mixing gently with a wooden spoon or spatula.
(Do not overmix—love, like dough, needs a gentle hand!)
🍫 Step 3: Add the Chocolate
- Fold in the chocolate chips (and nuts, if using).
- Chill the dough in the fridge for 20–30 minutes to firm up (especially helpful for shaping).
🍪 Step 4: Shape & Bake
- Preheat oven to 175°C / 350°F.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Scoop dough into balls (1–2 tbsp size), place 2 inches apart.
- Flatten slightly with your fingers.
Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden.
(Cookies will continue baking on the sheet after removal—don’t overbake.)
