Cook Time: 10 mins
Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This will ensure that your cookies bake evenly and achieve that perfect golden-brown color.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and baking soda. Set this mixture aside for later use. This step helps to evenly distribute the baking soda throughout the flour.
- In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer or a sturdy wooden spoon to cream together the room temperature unsalted butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and salt. Beat the mixture until it becomes light and fluffy, which should take about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the eggs one at a time to the butter and sugar mixture, mixing well after each addition. Then, add the vanilla extract and continue to mix until fully incorporated.
- Gradually add the flour and baking soda mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed or by hand until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to tough cookies.
- Fold in the semisweet chocolate chips using a spatula or wooden spoon, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto ungreased baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie to allow for spreading.
- Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers look slightly underbaked. They will continue to cook on the baking sheet after being removed from the oven.
- Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to wire racks to cool completely.
- Enjoy your freshly baked "Hey Bitch Chocolate Chip Cookies" with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage!
Tips
- Temperature Matters: Ensure your butter is truly at room temperature for the perfect creamy texture. Too cold, and your cookies will be dense; too warm, and they'll spread too much.
- Don't Overmix: Mix your dough just until ingredients are combined. Overmixing can lead to tough, chewy cookies instead of that perfect tender crumb.
- Chill for Extra Flavor: If you have time, refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes to an hour before baking. This helps develop deeper flavors and prevents excessive spreading.
- Use Parchment Paper: For easier cleanup and more even baking, line your baking sheets with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Watch the Bake Time: Every oven is different! Start checking your cookies at 9 minutes. They should look slightly underbaked in the center, as they'll continue cooking on the hot baking sheet.
- Storage Secret: Store cooled cookies in an airtight container with a slice of bread to keep them soft and fresh for days!
