Ingredients

To create this delectable batch of chocolate chip cookies, you will need the following 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 salt
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 cups semisweet and/or milk chocolate chips

Instructions

Follow these simple steps to bake the perfect chocolate chip cookies:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour and baking soda; set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat the butter and sugars on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
  4. Add salt, vanilla, and eggs, mixing until well incorporated.
  5. Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips using a spatula or wooden spoon.
  7. Using a cookie scoop or two spoons, drop tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake the cookies until they are golden brown around the edges but still soft in the center, about 10-12 minutes. Remove from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.

Once your chocolate chip cookies have cooled, it’s time to savor them, whether enjoyed with a glass of milk or shared with loved ones. Each bite promises a burst of chocolaty goodness that is sure to please everyone!
