Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup unsalted butter softened
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup chocolate chips semi-sweet preferred
  • optional pinch of salt to enhance flavor

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Spatula or wooden spoon
  • Measuring teaspoons and cups
  • Small cookie scoop (optional)
  • Lined tray or plate

Method
 

  1. In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and brown sugar using a spatula or wooden spoon, until the mixture is smooth and slightly fluffy, and smells warm and caramel-like.
  2. Add the vanilla extract and mix briefly to incorporate its fragrant aroma into the dough.
  3. Stir in the all-purpose flour gradually, mixing until the dough feels firm but still slightly crumbly, coming together when pinched. If it feels too dry, add a teaspoon of milk to help it bind.
  4. Gently fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough. You can use a spatula for this step to prevent melting the chips.
  5. Using a small cookie scoop or your hands, shape the dough into 1-inch bites. Place each bite on a lined tray or plate. Once all are shaped, chill them in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to help them firm up and meld flavors.
  6. After chilling, the bites are ready to be enjoyed straight from the fridge or at room temperature for a softer, more decadent texture. Optional: drizzle with melted chocolate or sprinkle a pinch of sea salt for added flavor.

Notes

For a dairy-free version, replace butter with coconut oil or vegan butter. Feel free to customize with chopped nuts or dried fruit for variety.
