Description
Deliciously thick and gooey chocolate chip cookies that evoke comfort and nostalgia.
Ingredients
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, ensuring everything is well incorporated.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Gently stir in the semi-sweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
- Using a cookie scoop, place generous amounts of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them a few inches apart.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For best results, chill the dough and avoid overbaking to ensure a chewy center.
