🛒 Ingredients for Chocolate Chip Cookies

Here’s what you’ll need for about cookies 

Approx number of  cookies 20-25

2 large eggs

1½ teaspoons vanilla extract

2¼ cups (280g) all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon salt

2 cups (340g) chocolate chips

(Optional) ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon (adds a subtle Indian warmth)

👨‍🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Cream Butter and Sugars

In bowl, cream together butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until light and fluffy This creates air in the dough, making the cookies soft and chewy

💡 Brown sugar adds moisture and a deep molasses flavor  perfect for Indian climates where cookies can dry out quickly

2. Add Eggs and Vanilla

🥚 Eggs bind the dough and add richness You can substitute with flaxseed meal if vegan

3. Mix Dry Ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon (if using) Slowly fold the dry mix into the wet mixture

4. Fold in Chocolate Chips

Stir in the chocolate chips. Feel free to mix in chopped walnuts or almonds for a Desi nutty twist

5. Chill the Dough (Optional but Recommended)

Refrigerate dough for 30-60 minutes. This enhances flavor and prevents spreading

6. Bake Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F) Line a baking tray with parchment paper Scoop cookie dough (about 1 tbsp size) onto the tray

Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and centers still soft. Let cool on tray for 5 mins before transferring
