What You Need for This Homemade Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe

Ingredient Notes

Flour: I have used plain/all-purpose flour.
Butter: I like to use unsalted butter for all recipes so that I can control the amount of salt. Make sure it is at room temperature.
Brown & White Sugar: I like to use both in this recipe because the brown sugar adds moisture and a lovely hint of caramel flavor, while the white sugar helps the cookies to spread.
Baking Powder & Baking Soda: Both leavening agents help the cookies rise a little bit.
Egg: It helps bind all the ingredients together. Make sure it is at room temperature.
Chocolate Chips & Sea Salt Caramel Chips: I like to use dark chocolate chips to balance the sweetness from the sugar, and to enhance the caramel flavor, I use a few sea salt caramel chips.
Vanilla Extract & Salt: They enhance all the flavors.

Ingredient Substitutions

Unsalted Butter: I like to use unsalted butter to control the salt quantity, but you may also use salted butter. If you do, just avoid the extra pinch of salt.
Chocolate Chips: I like to use dark chocolate chips, but you may also use milk or semi-dark chocolate chips, chunks, or chopped chocolate.
Sea Salt Caramel Chips: I like the extra touch of caramel flavor, but you may skip them if you can’t find them and add more chocolate chips.
