What You Need

Head to your pantry and fridge and grab out these staple ingredients...

Note: Scroll to the recipe card at the bottom for the ingredients, quantities and full detailed method. 

• Butter - choose salted or unsalted butter (not margarine) for this recipe. If using salted butter, omit the extra pinch of salt below.
• Caster sugar - also known as superfine sugar, this variety is perfect for baking cookies as it dissolves easily when mixed with the butter.
• Brown sugar - you can use either regular or dark brown sugar in this recipe. Dark brown sugar will result in a richer and more butterscotch-like tasting flavour.
• Egg - choose a large egg (approximately 60g) and bring to room temperature before using.
• Vanilla extract - or vanilla essence.
• Salt - use just a pinch (or omit if using salted butter).
• Bi-carbonate soda - also referred to as baking soda. This helps the cookies to rise and gives them their fluffy texture.
• Plain flour - also referred to all-purpose flour.
• Chocolate chips - choose a quality brand such as Cadbury or Nestle chocolate melts, chocolate baking bits or chocolate baking chips as they hold their shape when baked.

Equipment Required

To make these chocolate chip cookies you'll need a Thermomix machine.

Please note: if you don't have a Thermomix, you can find my conventional chocolate chip cookie recipe here.

This recipe is suitable for use in all of the Thermomix machine models.

You will also need two large flat baking trays and an oven.

My recipes specify temperatures for fan-forced ovens, however, if you are using a conventional (non fan-forced) oven, simply increase the temperature by 10-20 degrees celsius.

Step By Step Thermomix Instructions

Making chocolate chip biscuits in the Thermomix is just so easy...

Let it cream the mixture, mix and combine for you!

Note: Scroll to the recipe card at the bottom for the ingredients quantities and full detailed method.

Step 1 - Cream The Butter & Sugars

Insert the Butterfly attachment into the Thermomix.

Add the room temperature butter and the sugars.

Mix until smooth, creamy and pale.

TIP: Scrape down the sides of the bowl partway through mixing.

Step 2 - Add The Egg & Vanilla

With the Butterfly still in place, reduce the speed to Speed 2.

Add the egg and the vanilla extract through the MC (measuring cup) hole.

Increase to Speed 4 to combine. Remove the Butterfly attachment.

Step 3 - Add The Dry Ingredients

Add the salt, bi-carbonate soda and plain flour and mix to combine.

Scrape down the sides of the bowl and mix again.

Step 4 - Add The Chocolate Chips

Add the chocolate chips to the cookie dough and mix on REVERSE until combined.

Chill the dough in the fridge for 20 minutes (best for big, fluffy, soft cookies!)

Step 5 - Bake

Roll the dough into balls, leaving a gap in between to allow for spreading.

Bake for 8-10 minutes or until just lightly golden.

TIP: Do NOT over-bake! The cookies will continue cooking on the baking trays once removed from the oven.

Tips For Making Cookies In A Thermomix

Put your Thermie to good use and let it prepare the most delicious cookie dough for you!

• Insert the Butterfly attachment BEFORE adding the butter and sugars. It's very hard to insert it properly after adding the ingredients and it can easily slip off. Putting it in place before adding the ingredients, ensures it will stay in place while creaming.
• Do NOT exceed Speed 4 while the Butterfly is inserted.
• Scrape down the sides of the bowl regularly - the Butterfly tends to push the mixture up the sides of the bowl. Scrape down the sides to ensure the mixture is evenly combined.
• Ensure your butter is softened to room temperature before using - otherwise it will stick to the Butterfly and won't cream properly.
• Remove the MC (measuring cup) and add the egg and vanilla through the hole while the blades are turning.
• Ensure the machine is set to REVERSE before adding the chocolate chips... otherwise they will be chopped into tiny pieces!
