  1. How to prepare American cookies with chocolate chunks? Gather all the necessary ingredients. Ensure that the butter is softened for easy creaming, so it's advisable to take it out of the refrigerator approximately 2 hours prior to baking. Opt for good-quality chocolate, whether it's bitter or classic, based on personal preference. Refer to a separate article at the end of the recipe to learn more about flour properties.

  2. Finely chop the chocolate into small chunks using a sharp knife. For easier chopping, you can place the chocolate in the freezer for 15 minutes beforehand. When solid, it crumbles more efficiently. Adjust the size of the chocolate chunks to your liking, whether you prefer them smaller or larger.

  5. Pre-mix the flour with salt, baking powder, and vanilla extract, then sift it into the dough. Sifting the flour promotes better rising of the cookies during baking. Keep in mind that the amount of flour may vary, so adjust based on the dough's consistency.

  9. Using a spoon, place the dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, shaping the cookies into rounds. I used a cooking mold with a diameter of 6 cm. Bake the cookies in a preheated oven at 190 degrees Celsius for approximately 20 minutes. Adjust the baking time and temperature according to your oven.

  10. The cookies should be lightly browned, with slight browning around the edges. Avoid over-baking as it may cause the cookies to dry out. Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven, allow them to cool, and then serve. Enjoy your cookies!

Recipe Notes

Perhaps many people, like me, will have a question: "Why are these cookies called American?"
It turns out that these cookies made their mark in culinary history thanks to an ordinary American housewife, Ruth Wakefield. She was following a recipe that called for melted chocolate. However, Ruth broke the chocolate into small pieces, which did not melt entirely during baking and retained their shape. This led to the creation of a new version of the recipe - "cookies with chocolate chips".
In America, such cookies are considered traditional and quite popular.

Be prepared for the fact that you may need more or less flour than indicated in the recipe. Focus not on the amount of flour, but on the desired consistency of the dough.

Keep in mind that everyone's ovens are different. The temperature and cooking time may differ from those indicated in the recipe.
