Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 250g plain flour
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 170g unsalted butter, softened
- 100g dark brown sugar
- 100g light brown sugar
- 100g caster sugar
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 1 egg yolk
- 2 tbsp milk
- 300g of your chosen additions (e.g., chocolate chips, nuts, dried fruit, oats)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 170 degrees Celsius (340 degrees Fahrenheit).
- Sift together the plain flour and baking powder in a medium bowl. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream the softened butter, dark brown sugar, light brown sugar, and caster sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, beat together the egg, egg yolk, vanilla extract, and milk until well combined.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the creamed butter and sugar mixture, mixing until fully incorporated.
- Slowly add the sifted flour and baking powder to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
- Fold in your chosen additions (e.g., chocolate chips, nuts, dried fruit, oats) until evenly distributed.
- Drop spoonfuls of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving enough space between each cookie to allow for spreading.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Feel free to experiment with different mix-ins such as white chocolate chips, macadamia nuts, or dried cranberries. Store cookies in an airtight container for up to a week. For a softer cookie, slightly underbake them and let them cool on the baking sheet.
