Executive pastry chef Thierry shares the beloved chocolate chip cookie recipe, so you can make them between adventures. These perfectly made chocolate chip cookies are buttery, chewy and golden-brown, baked fresh on every ship every single day and served in places like Windjammer Marketplace and Park Cafe. Enjoy a taste of Royal Caribbean at home until your next cruise, whether it’s your first or 50th.
Pre-heat the oven to 375 F (176 C).
In a small bowl, mix flour, baking soda and salt; set it aside.
In a large bowl, beat softened butter and sugars with an electric mixer on medium speed, or mix with a spoon for about 1 minute or until fluffy, scraping the side of the bowl occasionally.
Beat in the egg and the vanilla extract until smooth.
Stir in the flour mixture until just blended (the dough will be stiff).
Stir in the chocolate chips and nuts if you’re adding those.
Drop the dough by the rounded tablespoonful onto ungreased cookie sheets, about two inches apart.
Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until light brown (the center will be soft).
Cool 2 minutes before removing the cookies from the sheet and putting them on a cooling rack.
