Cuisine: American
Serves: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt to ensure even distribution of leavening agents.
- Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Fold in the chocolate chips using a rubber spatula, distributing them evenly throughout the cookie dough.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers look slightly soft.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
Tips
- Make sure your butter is truly softened but not melted – this ensures the perfect cookie texture.
- Don't overmix the dough, as this can lead to tough cookies. Mix just until ingredients are combined.
- Use high-quality chocolate chips for the most decadent flavor.
- For perfectly uniform cookies, use a cookie scoop to measure equal portions.
- Let cookies cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring to prevent breaking.
- For extra indulgence, try mixing different types of chocolate chips or adding a sprinkle of sea salt on top.
- Store cookies in an airtight container to maintain their freshness and soft texture.
