Cuisine: American
Serves: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Add vanilla extract and eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition, ensuring a smooth and well-incorporated mixture.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt to ensure even distribution of leavening agents.
- Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Fold in the chocolate chips using a spatula, distributing them evenly throughout the cookie dough.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers look slightly soft.
- Remove from oven and let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
Tips
- Use room temperature butter and eggs for smoother mixing and better cookie texture.
- Don't overmix the dough - this can lead to tough cookies.
- Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking for thicker, more flavorful cookies.
- Use a cookie scoop for uniform cookie sizes and even baking.
- Watch cookies closely in the last few minutes of baking - golden edges are your key to perfectly cooked cookies.
- Let cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes after baking to help them set.
- For extra indulgence, sprinkle a few extra chocolate chips on top of each cookie immediately after removing from the oven.
