Baking chocolate chip cookies becomes a fairly easy task once you acquire the necessary skills, and they require minimal baking time. It may be tempting to immediately place the freshly mixed dough in the oven, but it is crucial to exercise patience and wait for optimal results. Read the Pro Tip at the end of the article before you proceed to bake!
What do we need for making soft heart chocolate cookies?
You will need butter, sugar or brown sugar, eggs, all-purpose flour or low gluten flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, salt, and of course, plenty of chocolate chips. The combination of these ingredients is what creates the soft and gooey texture that makes these cookies truly irresistible.
Ingredients
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla abstract
- 70g butter
- 50g sugar
- 120g low gluten flour
- 2g baking powder
- 10g cocoa powder
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, sugar and egg until light and fluffy. Followed by the vanilla extract if that' s your favorite. Mix until well combined.
Step 2
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, whisk together the low gluten flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt, mixing just until incorporated. Be careful not to overmix as this can result in tough cookies.
Step 3
Roll the dough into a a firm state.
Step 4
Now comes the fun part - adding the chocolate chips! Fold in a chocolate chip as your heart desires. This is where you can truly make these cookies your own by using different types of chocolate chips such as milk chocolate, dark chocolate, or even white chocolate.
Step 5
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Make sure to leave enough space between each cookie as they will spread while baking. If desired, gently press a few extra chocolate chips onto the tops of each cookie for an extra burst of chocolate goodness.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 10-12 minutes or until the edges are set but the centers still look slightly undercooked. This is what gives these cookies their irresistibly soft and gooey center. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 7
Once cooled, grab a glass of milk and indulge in these heavenly soft heart chocolate cookies. The combination of rich chocolate and melt-in-your-mouth texture will have you coming back for seconds (and maybe even thirds!).
Pro Tips
Like many other baked goods, you will want to allow the dough to rest before baking. You only need to let the dough rest for as little as 30 minutes. Consider it a step in the process as you clean up and put all of the baking tools away. But by allowing the dough to rest in the refrigerator, the cookies will turn out nice and chewy.
Adding sea salt to your chocolate cookies serves a dual purpose. The combination of sweet and salty flavors creates a harmonious taste. If you haven't tried sprinkling sea salt flakes on top of your chocolate chip cookies, I highly recommend giving it a go.
Achieving the ideal cookie texture relies heavily on properly combining the butter and sugar. To accomplish this, it is crucial to thoroughly mix the butter and sugar for a significant amount of time. It is important not to underestimate the duration required for this step.
Top Questions
Is it possible to store this dough in the refrigerator for a couple of days?
The short answer is Yes. Just make sure to allow it to come to room temperature before shaping and baking. In fact, giving it some time in the fridge might enhance the flavor of the chocolate cookies as it allows the spice blend to fully develop.
How to get the chocolate fillings soft again once the cookies cooled down?
To enhance your eating experience, consider warming a small portion of chocolate cookies in the microwave for just 5 seconds prior to consumption, allowing the chocolate to melt slightly and create a gooey texture that will make every bite even more indulgent.
