Cuisine: American
Serves: 36 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 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 unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Add the 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 ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Fold in the chocolate chips using a rubber spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls 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 are set but still 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
- Temperature Matters: Ensure your butter is softened but not melted for the perfect cookie texture.
- Don't Overmix: Mix dry and wet ingredients just until combined to keep cookies tender.
- Use High-Quality Chocolate Chips: Premium chips make a significant difference in flavor.
- Consistent Size: Use a cookie scoop for uniform cookies that bake evenly.
- Watch Baking Time Closely: Remove cookies when edges are golden but centers look slightly underbaked for that perfect soft texture.
- Cool Completely: Let cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to prevent breaking.
- Store Smartly: Keep in an airtight container to maintain freshness for up to 5 days.
