Soft and chewy chocolate cookies that are perfect for any occasion, delivering a balance of sweetness and richness.


Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well with the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until combined.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips with a spatula.

Notes

For softer cookies, remove from the oven when they look slightly underbaked. Store in an airtight container.
