But baking the perfect chocolate chip cookies needs a lot of care. Professional bakers know the secret of baking perfect chocolate chip cookies. After baking them with care, one can send cookies made of chocolates by post.

Here are few super tips to bake that perfect chocolate chip cookie:

• Use high quality butter that is salted: Use salted creamy butter of top quality from good brands at the grocery store.
• Melting the butter: It is good to melt the butter, around halfway in the oven. It is good to do the melting in a pre-heated oven rather than the microwave, so as to melt the butter halfway. It takes 3 to5 minutes only.
• Butter temperature- It is vital to bring the whole butter to room temperature before beginning the cookie making.
• Beat in eggs gently; Eggs must be blended into the sugar- butter mix, gently. Over beating will make the cookies tough.
• Add enough flour: Add enough flour so the dough is smooth and not overly wet.
• Use different types of chocolate chips: Add a variety of chocolate chips to make the cookies more interesting.
• Baking small: It is good to bake cookies in small batches for better success.
• Shaping cookie: it is always better to shape dough by hand to get ideal round balls for making cookies.
• Use top quality flour: It is good to use high gluten flour to produce the right crust and chew to the cookies.
• Right size: Size is also crucial for the right chocolate chip cookie. Professionals recommend a scoop size of 4 ounces for the right crumbliness and chewiness.
• Keep away the dough: It is good to age the dough, for a day or two in the fridge for enhanced flavour r(don’t freeze).
• Use best ingredients: There are very few ingredients in cookies so it is important to use ingredients of high-quality. This is especially true of chocolate, vanilla and butter. For best results, use top quality UK chocolate.
• Fist mix a lot, then go slow: In the early stages, it is good to mix the ingredients really well. In this stage, the sugar crystals enter the butter and make air pockets to help the cookies rise while baking. But after adding flour, keep down the mixing. The flour’s gluten content will be activated by the liquid in the dough and with more stirring, the tougher will the cookies turn out.
• Use salt: Salt is called for in the recipe to downplay the sweetness and enhance the chocolate flavour such that you get a well balanced cookie. Sea salt can be used for this purpose.
• Take care of your baking pan: Avoid pan made of aluminium, which has the tendency to absorb heat and may burn the base of cookies.

These are some useful tips to help you bake the best chocolate chip cookies.
