Chocolate Chip Cookies

Instructions

• 1Place the butter, sugars, baking soda, salt and vanilla in the bowl of a stand mixer. Using the paddle attachment, beat on high speed until pale and creamy. Scrape down the bowl if necessary.
• 2With the mixer running, add the eggs one at a time, until incorporated.
• 3Add the flour and chocolate chips and mix on low speed until just combined, scraping the bowl as necessary.
• 4Insert the wire rack in the middle position. Set the oven to Cookies, Convection, 310°F, for 15 minutes and press Start to preheat. Meanwhile, continue to the next step.
• 5Divide the dough evenly into 18 portions. Roll each portion into a ball.
  Tip: Dough balls can be frozen for up to 1 month. When ready to bake, place the balls on the parchment lined pizza pan and stand at room temperature for about 1 hour before flattening slightly and cooking.
• 6Spray the pizza pan with cooking spray and line with parchment paper. Place 4 cookie balls evenly spaced apart on the pan and flatten slightly. Refrigerate the remaining balls.
• 7Once preheated, place the pan in the oven and cook for 15 minutes. Halfway through cooking, rotate the pan.
• 8The cookies should be golden brown, crisp around the edges, and soft in the center. If not, cook them a little longer.
• 9Cool the cookies for a few minutes on the pan before transferring to a wire rack. Repeat with the remaining cookie balls.
• 10Serve the cookies warm or cool. Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
