Description
A delightful recipe for chewy chocolate chip cookies with a crispy exterior and soft, gooey center, perfect for sharing with friends and family.
Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your baking sheets with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter with the granulated and brown sugars until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes on medium speed.
- Add the vanilla extract and eggs, beating until fully incorporated.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture on low speed, mixing just until combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
- Drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving enough space for spreading.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are golden and the center is set but still soft.
- Let cookies cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For thickness and flavor, consider chilling the dough for 30 minutes before baking.
