Ingredients
The following ingredients will help you make about 24 cookies:
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened to 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 semi-sweet and/or milk chocolate chips
Instructions
Follow these simple steps to create your scrumptious cookies:
- Preheat the oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (180°C).
- Mix dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour and baking soda. Set this mixture aside for later.
- Cream butter and sugars: In a large bowl, using a hand mixer or stand mixer, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and salt on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add eggs and vanilla: Beat in the vanilla extract and eggs, one at a time, mixing until well combined.
- Combine mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix!
- Fold in chocolate chips: With a spatula, fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Shape and bake: Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto baking sheets lined with parchment paper. Make sure to leave enough space between each cookie, as they will spread while baking.
- Bake: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown while the centers remain soft.
- Cool: Allow the cookies to rest on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
Enjoy these delectable chewy chocolate chip cookies fresh from the oven or store them in an airtight container for later. Happy baking!
