Description
Enjoy the heavenly aroma and delightful flavor of classic chocolate chip cookies, featuring a perfect balance of chewy and crispy textures.
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually blend this dry mixture into the creamed mixture until just combined, avoiding overmixing.
- Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto ungreased cookie sheets, leaving space for spreading.
- Bake for 9 to 11 minutes, or until golden brown around the edges and soft in the middle.
- Allow to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
For thicker cookies, chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. Store cookies at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 5-7 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
