Bakers Formula: Triple Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ingredients  

• 240 g all-purpose flour
• 4 g salt
• 4 g baking soda
• 118 g brown sugar
• 120 g of softened unsalted butter
• 60 g granulated sugar
• 110 g white chocolate chips
• 65 g dark chocolate chips
• 110 g milk chocolate chips
• 5 g vanilla extract (optional)
• 1 egg

Tools

• 2 bowls
• 1 spatula or wooden spoon
• 1 baking sheet lined with parchment paper

Instructions  

1. Line your baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. Mix the flour, salt and baking soda together in a large bowl and set aside. 
2. In another bowl, mix the softened butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar together until smooth.
3. Add the egg (and the optional vanilla extract) to the wet ingredients.
4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix well with a wooden spoon or spatula. 
5. (Our favourite step!) Fold in the chocolate chips. Scoop the dough into equal-sized balls, and refrigerate for 1 hour. Preheat the oven to 177 C (350 F).
6. Place the cookie dough balls on the baking sheet lined with parchment paper and press down lightly. Bake for 6 minutes, or until the cookies are golden brown on the sides. 
7. Let cool directly on the baking sheet and enjoy!
