Description

This classic Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe yields soft, chewy, and delicious cookies with the perfect balance of sweet and chocolatey flavors. Easy to make and perfect for any occasion, these cookies are a family favorite and a timeless treat.

Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Additional Ingredients

  • 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, giving the cookies a tender texture.
  3. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time to fully incorporate them, then stir in the vanilla extract for flavor.
  4. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening agents and salt.
  5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined to avoid overworking the dough which can make cookies tough.
  6. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the semisweet chocolate chips to evenly spread the chocolate throughout the dough.
  7. Portion Dough: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie for spreading.
  8. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown indicating the cookies are perfectly baked.
  9. Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes to set before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For extra chewy cookies, chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking.
  • You can substitute milk or dark chocolate chips depending on your preference.
  • Add 1 cup of chopped nuts for added crunch and texture.
