Description

Delightfully soft and chewy Neighbor Chocolate Chip Cookies made with rich brown sugar, creamy butter, and loaded with semi-sweet chocolate chips. These easy-to-make cookies have the perfect balance of sweetness and a touch of sea salt to enhance the chocolate flavor, making them a beloved classic treat for any occasion.

Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 stick (1/2 cup) salted butter, softened
  • 2 cups light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

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

Add-ins

  • 1 bag (12 oz) semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and light brown sugar together until light and fluffy. This usually takes about 2-3 minutes with an electric mixer on medium speed.
  2. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Then mix in the vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and sea salt evenly to ensure proper leavening.
  4. Mix Dry Ingredients into Wet: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients. Mix gently until just combined to avoid overworking the dough and making the cookies tough.
  5. Incorporate Chocolate Chips: Stir in the semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly throughout the cookie dough for delicious bursts of chocolate in every bite.
  6. Portion Dough: Drop teaspoon-sized portions of dough onto an ungreased cookie sheet, spacing each about 2 inches apart. You can adjust the size to make larger or smaller cookies as desired.
  7. Bake Cookies: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the cookies for 8-9 minutes or until the tops just begin to turn golden brown, indicating they are perfectly baked but still soft inside.
  8. Cool Cookies: Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to rest on the cookie sheet for 5 minutes to finish cooking and firm up. Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.

Notes

  • Using light brown sugar provides the cookies with moistness and a rich, caramel flavor.
  • Do not overmix once dry ingredients are added to maintain a tender cookie texture.
  • Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet before moving them to a wire rack to prevent breaking.
  • For softer cookies, slightly underbake and let them finish setting on the hot cookie sheet.
  • You can substitute semi-sweet chocolate chips with dark or milk chocolate chips as preferred.
