Fluffy Cookies

I finally have time to bake!! YESH! After studying for 3 months, then exam plus getting the flu, totally crazy..! My husband suddenly wanted these soft cookies I made ages ago, so I made them for him. I just realised now how yummy they are because they are so soft and almost cake-like. I call them my Fluffy Cookies. I don't remember where I found the recipe though... it was a long time ago :)

Fluffy Cookies
Makes 18


1/2 cup butter (room temp) - this is equivalent to approx 113g
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
2 eggs
2 1/4 cup unsifted all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt (don't use this if you are using salted butter)
2 cups chocolate chips or chopped up cooking chocolates


Note: I normally reduce each of the sugars by about 2 tablespoons


1. Cream first 3 ingredients until light and fluffy, add vanilla, add eggs and beat well.
2. Combine flour, baking soda and salt in a separate bowl. Gradually add to creamed mixture and beat well. Stir in chocolates.
3. Divide into 9 equal sized balls (about a round soup spoon size), place on cookie sheet and press lightly until they're about 2cm high
4. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned in a 190C preheated oven.
5. Cool slightly, remove from cookie sheet and place on cooling rack.
