Instructions:

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Line baking sheets with parchment paper.

2. Cream Butter and Sugars:

3. Add Eggs and Vanilla:

  • Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

6. Scoop and Bake:

  • Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers are still soft.

7. Cool:

  • Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.

8. Serve:

  • Enjoy your delicious Byron Bay-inspired Chocolate Chip Cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage.

These cookies should be chewy on the inside with a slight crisp on the edges, reminiscent of the famous Byron Bay Chocolate Chip Cookies. Enjoy baking and savoring them!
