Description

Indulge in the ultimate classic comfort treat with these best-ever chocolate chip cookies. Soft, chewy, and packed with gooey chocolate chips, these cookies are sure to become your go-to recipe for satisfying your sweet cravings.


Ingredients

Dry Ingredients:

  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients:

  • 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar (packed)
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Mix-ins:

  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)


Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Prepare the dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Cream the butter and sugars: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until creamy and light, about 2 minutes.
  4. Add eggs and vanilla: Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Combine wet and dry ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
  6. Include mix-ins: Fold in the chocolate chips and nuts, if desired.
  7. Bake: Drop tablespoon-sized scoops of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 9–11 minutes, or until golden edges and set centers.
  8. Cool and enjoy: Allow the cookies to cool on the pan for 2 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For extra gooey centers, chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking.
  • Swap in dark chocolate chips or sea salt flakes for a gourmet twist.
