Total Time: 1 hrs 10 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 1 loaf
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Set this dry mixture aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together 1/2 cup of softened unsalted butter, 1/2 cup of brown sugar, and 1/2 cup of granulated sugar using an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add 1 large egg and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture. Beat until fully combined.
- Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Fold in 1 cup of chocolate chips using a spatula or wooden spoon, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula to ensure even baking.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
- Once baked, remove the loaf from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, carefully transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Slice the Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Bread once it has cooled, and enjoy it as a delicious treat or dessert!
Tips
- Measure Ingredients Accurately: For the best results, ensure your ingredients are measured accurately. Use a kitchen scale for flour to avoid excess, which can lead to a dense loaf.
- Room Temperature Ingredients: Make sure your butter and egg are at room temperature. This helps them blend more easily, creating a light and fluffy batter.
- Don’t Overmix: When combining the dry and wet ingredients, mix until just combined. Overmixing can lead to a tough texture, so be gentle!
- Customize Your Chips: Feel free to get creative with your chocolate chips! Try using dark chocolate, milk chocolate, or even adding nuts for extra crunch.
- Check for Doneness: Ovens can vary, so start checking for doneness a few minutes before the suggested baking time. The toothpick test is your best friend—look for moist crumbs, not wet batter.
- Cool Completely: Allow the bread to cool completely before slicing. This helps the flavors develop and makes for cleaner cuts.
- Storage Tips: Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days, or freeze slices for a quick treat later on!
