Chocolate Chip Tea Cookies
Description
The cookies combine unsalted butter beaten until fluffy with powdered sugar and a pinch of salt, which creates a rich and smooth dough. Vanilla adds aroma while all-purpose flour gently binds the mixture without toughness. Miniature chocolate chips provide small bursts of chocolate throughout each bite.
Baked at 350 degrees Fahrenheit on parchment-lined sheets, the cookies cook for 10 to 12 minutes until firm on the outside but still pale, preserving a tender center. Cooling them on the sheets before transferring to racks prevents breakage and allows them to set.
These cookies keep well stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks, making them convenient for advance baking or gifting. Their soft texture pairs naturally with warm beverages, providing a balanced, mild sweetness without overwhelming richness.
Ingredients
- 8 ounces butter at room temperature, unsalted
- ½ cup powdered sugar sifted
- Pinch salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup miniature chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper; set aside.
- Beat the butter, sugar and salt with an electric mixer on medium speed until fluffy. Add the vanilla and mix well. Reduce the mixer speed to low and gradually add the flour until just combined. Using a rubber spatula, stir in the miniature chocolate chips.
- Shape into 1-inch balls (a small cookie scoop is perfect for this) and place 2 inches apart on the prepared cookie sheets. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until set but still pale in color. Allow to cool on the sheets for 5 minutes, then remove to wire racks to cool completely. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
Notes
- Use unsalted butter at room temperature for proper creaming and flavor control.
- Sift powdered sugar to avoid lumps and ensure smooth dough.
- Allow cookies to cool on baking sheets before moving to wire racks to set properly and avoid breakage.
- Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature to keep their texture for up to two weeks.
