INCREDIBLY SOFT CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES
Chocolate chip cookies are a classic, but there’s something undeniably special about a cookie that’s incredibly soft and packed with melted chocolate. Trust me; your loved ones will be coming back for seconds (and thirds!) when you serve these delightful treats.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, followed by the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each cookie for spreading.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look soft and slightly underbaked, but they’ll continue to firm up as they cool.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cool, enjoy these incredibly soft chocolate chip cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage. They are sure to become a household favorite, bringing joy and sweetness to every bite!
