Classic Chocolate Chip Cookies
Nothing beats the aroma of freshly baked cookies wafting through the house. This classic chocolate chip cookie recipe is perfect for gatherings, or simply for enjoying with a glass of milk at home. Let’s dive into the details!
Ingredients:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the vanilla extract and eggs to the mixture, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Slowly incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Fold in the semisweet chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 9 to 11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. The centers may look slightly underbaked; this is okay as they will continue to cook on the baking sheet.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy these classic cookies warm, or store them in an airtight container to savor later. Whether shared with friends, family, or enjoyed solo, they are sure to bring a smile to your face!
