Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
Additional Ingredients
- 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure the cookies bake evenly and don’t stick.
- Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is smooth and fluffy. Then beat in the eggs one at a time, making sure each is fully incorporated before adding the next, followed by stirring in the vanilla extract for added flavor.
- Add the Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined to avoid overworking the dough, which can make the cookies tough.
- Add Chocolate Chips: Gently fold the semisweet chocolate chips into the cookie dough, distributing them evenly throughout to ensure every bite has chocolate.
- Form the Cookies: Using a rounded spoonful (about 1.5 tablespoons) of dough for each cookie, drop onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them sufficiently apart to allow for spreading during baking.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the cookies for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden while the centers remain soft and slightly underbaked for a chewy texture.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes to set, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, use high-quality unsalted butter and pure vanilla extract.
- Do not overmix the dough once the flour is added to maintain soft cookie texture.
- Chilling the dough for 30 minutes before baking can help prevent excessive spreading.
- Use parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature to keep them fresh for up to 5 days.
