1

Gather your ingredients

Before we dive into baking, make sure you have all the necessary ingredients. You'll need 2 1/4 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1 cup of unsalted butter (softened), 3/4 cup of granulated sugar, 3/4 cup of packed brown sugar, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, 2 large eggs, and 2 cups of chocolate chips.

2

Preheat the oven and prepare the compostable serving plate

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). While it's heating up, take your compostable serving plate and check the recommended temperature it can handle. Place it on a baking sheet so it's ready to go when the cookies are hot and gooey!

3

Mix the dry ingredients

In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. This ensures even distribution and no clumps in your cookies. Clumpy cookies are not cool, they're doughlicious!

4

Cream the butter and sugars

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Show that butter who's boss!

5

Add the eggs and vanilla

Now it's time to add the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. Mix well after each addition. Remember, cracking eggs takes skill, but don't worry if you get some shells in there - it adds texture...just kidding!

6

Combine the wet and dry mixtures

Slowly incorporate the dry mixture into the wet mixture. Mix until just combined. We don't want our cookies to be tough, so don't overdo it. It's like a light, loving embrace between the wet and dry ingredients.

7

Fold in the chocolate chips

Now for the best part – the chocolate chips! Fold them into your cookie dough. The more, the merrier! It's less like baking and more like a treasure hunt for nuggets of chocolatey goodness.

8

Shape and bake the cookies

Using a spoon or an ice cream scoop, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the compostable serving plate. Make sure to give them some space to spread out. Bake for 9 to 11 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown. Keep a close eye on them, no one wants a burnt cookie disaster!

9

Let them cool and enjoy

Once your cookies are out of the oven, let them cool on the compostable serving plate for a few minutes. Admire their golden beauty. Then, use a spatula to transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Once they've reached room temperature, grab a cookie (or two or three) and savor the deliciousness!
