Best ever chocolate chip cookies

Pre-heat oven to 180 degree centigrade. Line a baking tray with butter paper or silicon mat. Sift together all-purpose flour, baking soda and salt. Keep aside.

Melt the butter in microwave until it is liquid. It should not be hot. Just in liquid form. Using melted butter is one of the key aspects here. Add the melted butter into the bowl of your electric beater and add in both the sugars.

Beat the butter and the sugars on medium high speed for about 5 minutes until the mixture becomes thick.

Add the eggs one at a time and beat on medium speed for 10 to 15 seconds only. Do not over beat the eggs. This is another key aspect.

Add pure vanilla extract to the mixture and beat just until combined. Remove the bowl from the beater.

Add the entire flour content into the mixture, use a rubber spatula to mix the flour gently.

You will get a crumbly mixture first. Now use your hands to gently mix up the dough to combine.

Check for the consistency. If the dough is sticky like how it is in the picture, you need to add a little more flour. This is the next important key factor. The dough should have enough flour to keep it just dry and not sticky.

Add chocolate chips and gently fold them in and make round or flat arrangements on the baking tray and bake in pre-heated oven for 10 to 15 minutes. Cool on a wire rack before storing.

Store in an airtight container, they remain crisp when stored.
