Crunchy Chocolate Chip Cookies

Now that your taste buds are tingling with anticipation, here’s what you’ll need to create these delightful treats:

Ingredients:

  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup packed light-brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon coarse salt
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 cups semisweet and/or milk chocolate chips

With your ingredients ready, let’s get down to the mixing and baking—the fun part!

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (that’s around 175°C, for those who measure in fancy units).
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the flour and baking soda; set aside. It’s like a mini workout for your whisk!
  3. In a large bowl, mix together the butter and both sugars until light and fluffy. If you’ve ever seen whipped butter, you’ve witnessed the best performance art in the kitchen!
  4. Add the salt and vanilla extract. Then, crack in those eggs one by one, and mix until everything is beautifully combined—like a friendship circle of deliciousness!
  5. Slowly add the flour mixture. Mix until just combined. Don’t overmix—no one likes a cookie that’s been worked too hard!
  6. Now fold in the chocolate chips. Feel free to eat some raw cookie dough while you’re at it (we won’t tell!).
  7. Drop the dough by rounded tablespoons onto baking sheets lined with parchment paper, making sure to give them space to spread their creamy wings.
  8. Bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. They shouldn’t be too soft or overdone; just like us, they need to find that perfect balance!
  9. Once baked, let them cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack. This step is crucial—let them chill like a group of cool cookies.

And there you have it! A delightful batch of Crunchy Chocolate Chip Cookies that will brighten your day and make your taste buds dance. Enjoy with your favorite beverage, or munch them straight from the tray. Happy baking!
