Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 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). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar using an electric mixer. Beat on medium speed for 3-4 minutes until the mixture becomes light, fluffy, and pale in color.
- Add vanilla extract and eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Ensure eggs are at room temperature for better incorporation and smoother batter.
- 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. Be careful not to overmix, which can result in tough cookies.
- Fold in the chocolate chips using a rubber spatula, distributing them evenly throughout the dough.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes to allow them to set, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or freeze for longer storage.
Tips
- Temperature Matters: Ensure your butter is softened but not melted, and your eggs are at room temperature for the best texture.
- Don't Overmix: Mix your dough just until ingredients are combined to keep cookies tender and soft.
- Uniform Size: Use a cookie scoop for consistent cookie sizes, which ensures even baking.
- Chill Option: For even richer flavor, you can chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking.
- Watch Closely: Cookies continue cooking after removal from the oven, so take them out when edges are golden but centers look slightly underdone.
- Cool Completely: Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to prevent breaking.
