Equipment
- Oven
- Mixing bowls
- baking sheets
- Parchment paper
- Whisk
- Spatula
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- In a large bowl, beat the butter and both sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Scoop heaping tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- For best results, use room temperature ingredients and chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This helps the cookies hold their shape and develop a chewy texture.
- Serve the cookies warm, with a cold glass of milk for the ultimate indulgence.
Notes
When savoring these delectable cookies, remember to indulge in moderation. While the chewy chocolate chip recipe is a classic, you can easily adjust it to suit your preferences. Experiment with add-ins like nuts, dried fruit, or even swapping in different types of chocolate chips.
