Cuisine: American
Serves: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that your cookies bake evenly and achieve that perfect golden-brown color.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together 1 cup of softened unsalted butter, 1 cup of granulated sugar, and 1 cup of packed brown sugar. Use a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy, which should take about 2-3 minutes.
- Add 2 large eggs, one at a time, to the creamed mixture, mixing well after each addition. Then, stir in 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. This will help to evenly distribute the leavening agent and salt throughout the flour.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to tough cookies.
- Fold in 2 cups of chocolate chips using a spatula or wooden spoon, ensuring that the chips are evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto ungreased baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie to allow for spreading during baking.
- Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers look set but still soft. Keep an eye on them, as baking times may vary based on your oven.
- Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely. This helps them firm up and makes them easier to handle.
- Enjoy your homemade Chocolate Chip Cookies de Herlinda Gtz with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage!
Tips
- Make sure your butter is truly softened but not melted - this ensures the perfect cookie texture.
- Use room temperature eggs for better ingredient integration.
- Don't overmix the dough - this can make cookies tough and dense.
- For consistent cookie sizes, use a cookie scoop or tablespoon.
- Allow cookies to rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes after baking to help them set.
- Store cookies in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
- For extra indulgence, try using a mix of milk and dark chocolate chips.
- Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking for even richer flavor and better shape retention.
