Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
Add-ins
- 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easy.
- Mix the wet ingredients: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture becomes smooth and fluffy. Then, beat in the eggs one at a time until fully incorporated, followed by the vanilla extract for flavor.
- Add dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture into the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined to avoid overworking the dough.
- Incorporate chocolate chips: Stir in the semisweet chocolate chips evenly throughout the cookie dough to ensure every bite has chocolate goodness.
- Form the cookies: Drop rounded spoonfuls of dough (about 1.5 tablespoons each) onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them to allow room for spreading during baking.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges turn lightly golden while the centers remain soft and chewy.
- Cool and serve: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- Make sure the butter is softened for easier mixing and better texture.
- Do not overmix the dough once adding the dry ingredients to keep cookies tender.
- Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.
- Cookies are best enjoyed within a few days of baking, stored in an airtight container.
- You can substitute semisweet chocolate chips with milk or dark chocolate chips based on your preference.
