Ingredients
Cookie Dough Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper to ensure the cookies bake evenly and don’t stick.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, use a mixer to cream the softened butter with granulated sugar and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, which creates a good texture base for the cookies.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: Incorporate the eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition to ensure they are fully blended. Then add the vanilla extract for flavor.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and baking soda. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined to avoid overmixing.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips: Carefully fold in both the semi-sweet and white chocolate chips to evenly distribute the chips without breaking them.
- Portion and Bake: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and place them on the prepared baking sheets about two inches apart to allow for spreading. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the cookie edges are golden but the centers remain soft.
- Cool: Let the cookies cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely and achieve the perfect chewy texture.
Notes
- For best texture, use room temperature butter and eggs.
- Do not overmix the dough once the flour is added; this keeps cookies tender.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
- Optionally, chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking to prevent spreading for thicker cookies.
