Description
Classic chewy-on-the-inside, crispy-on-the-edge chocolate chip cookies that are easy to make and perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
- 1 cup (226 g) unsalted butter, softened
- ¾ cup (150 g) granulated sugar
- ¾ cup (165 g) packed brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 ¼ cups (280 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- 2 cups (340 g) semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 °F (190 °C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, cream together butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually blend dry ingredients into the butter mixture until just combined.
- Fold in chocolate chips evenly.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto prepared sheets, spacing about 2 in apart.
- Bake for 9–11 minutes, until edges are golden but centers are still soft.
- Let cookies rest on baking sheet for 2 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For chewier cookies, use more brown sugar than white.
- Chill dough for 30 minutes for thicker cookies.
- Add a sprinkle of flaky sea salt on top for flavor contrast.
- Store in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
