Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar using an electric mixer. Beat on medium speed for 3-4 minutes until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir 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. Be careful not to overmix.
- Fold in the chocolate chips using a spatula, distributing them evenly throughout the dough.
- Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days to maintain their chewy texture.
Tips
- Ensure your butter is truly softened but not melted - this is crucial for achieving that perfect chewy texture.
- Don't skip creaming the butter and sugars for 3-4 minutes; this step incorporates air and creates a lighter cookie.
- Use room temperature eggs to help them blend more smoothly into the batter.
- For extra-gooey cookies, try chilling the dough for 30 minutes before baking.
- Use a cookie scoop for uniform size and even baking.
- Watch the cookies carefully in the last few minutes of baking - golden edges are your signal of cookie perfection.
- Let cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to prevent breaking.
- For maximum freshness, store in an airtight container and enjoy within 5 days.
- Pro tip: Try mixing different types of chocolate chips for a more complex flavor profile.
- If you prefer softer cookies, slightly underbake them and they'll continue to set as they cool.
