Description

Indulge in the ultimate sweet treat with these chewy chocolate chip cookies that are sure to become a household favorite. With a perfect balance of buttery dough and gooey chocolate chips, these cookies are a delightful treat for any occasion.


Ingredients

Dry Ingredients:

  • 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients:

  • 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • ¾ cup brown sugar (packed)
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Additional:

  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, cream softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, add vanilla extract, and mix until smooth.
  4. Mix the Dough: Gradually stir dry ingredients into the wet mixture until combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
  5. Bake: Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 9–11 minutes until edges are golden and centers are slightly underbaked.
  6. Cool: Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For extra chewiness, refrigerate the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking.
  • Try swapping chocolate chips for chunks or adding chopped nuts for variety.
  • Cookies will remain soft for days when stored in an airtight container.
