Can I use margarine to make small batch of chocolate chip cookies?

This recipe will work fine with margarine if that’s what you have on hand.

How can I tell when my cookies are done?

A HUGE mistake among those who bake chocolate chip cookies is over baking! If you wait to take the cookies out when they look done they will be too overdone. You want to take out the chocolate chip cookies BEFORE they look done. They will look a tad doughy and light brown but take them out anyway. The cookies will cool on the baking sheet and set up after a few minutes. Trust me on this one!

How do I make my cookies more fluffy?

If you like a more “cake-like” cookie, feel free to add an additional 1 tablespoon of egg (for 2 tablespoons total) and an additional 1 tablespoon of flour. This produces a fluffier cookie.

Ingredients

Scale

2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons butter at room temperature
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 tablespoon egg, well beaten (beat an egg, then measure out 1 tablespoon)

1/8 teaspoon salt

Instructions

Cream together the butter and sugars using a fork. A 2-cup glass measuring cup is perfect for this.
Break the egg in a small bowl and whisk it well with a fork. Measure out the needed amount of egg and add it to the butter mixture. Mix in the eggs and vanilla.
Add the flour, baking soda, and salt to the bowl and stir well to combine.
Then add the chocolate chips and stir to incorporate.
Spoon onto a baking sheet lined with parchment or a baking mat. Plan on 6 to 8 cookies (I always end up with 7 when I use my cookie scoop).
Bake at 375 for 8-11 minutes.
Let cool on the baking sheet and enjoy!

Notes

If you like a more "cake-like" cookie, feel free to add an additional 1 tablespoon of egg (for 2 tablespoons total) and an additional 1 tablespoon of flour. This produces a fluffier cookie.
You can increase the chocolate chips to 1/3 cup if you'd like.
Use whatever chocolate chips you like.
This recipe will work fine with margarine if that's what you have on hand.
