Description
A heartwarming recipe for classic chocolate chip cookies that brings back sweet memories.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Prepping the Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Adding the Eggs and Vanilla: Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract until combined.
- Combining the Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the butter mixture, mixing just until combined.
- Folding in the Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Scooping the Dough: Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop dough balls onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Baking the Cookies: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake for about 10-12 minutes, or until edges are golden brown.
- Cooling: Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For a slightly chewy texture, slightly underbake the cookies. Use high-quality chocolate chips for best flavor.
