How to make the Betty Crocker chocolate chip cookie
Let’s get into how to make cookies. First step, preheat your oven to 375 F and then get started on your cookie dough.
Prep your dry ingredients by mixing together flour, salt, and baking powder. Set aside while you mix your wet ingredients.
Gently mix together the butter and both brown and white sugar. If you have a mixer, mix on medium for about a minute. If you don’t have one, mix with a rubber spatula until fluffy.
Next, stir in your egg and vanilla extract until everything is incorporated. Pour the flour mixture into the wet ingredients and gently mix until a dough forms.
Now the fun part, dump your chocolate chips into your cookie mix and stir. Use an ice cream scooper to create same sized dough balls and place on a baking sheet.
Place in your oven and bake for 8 – 12 minutes, keeping an eye on them until they are lightly brown but still soft in the middle. Exact bake time depends on your oven, so be sure to check it.
Allow to cool for a couple of minutes and then transfer them to a cooling rack.
Chocolate chip cookie tips
- Bake cookies one sheet at a time in the middle of the oven to ensure even doneness.
- The best way to measure flour is to first stir the flour a bit before spooning into the measuring cup. Fill it up and then sweep the excess off the top with the flat edge of a butter knife.
- To ensure your cookies don’t get too hard while stored, place a piece of bread in your airtight container with your cookies. I don’t know the science, but it really does work.
- Line your baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- If you would like to freeze some, simply scoop out dough into balls and place in a freezer bag.
