Total Time: 20 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup ruby chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar using an electric mixer. Beat until the mixture is light, fluffy, and pale in color, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Pour in the vanilla extract and mix until well combined.
- 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 ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the dough.
- Gently fold in the ruby chocolate chips using a spatula, distributing them evenly throughout the cookie dough.
- Using a cookie scoop or large spoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set but still soft.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, 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
- Ensure your butter is truly softened but not melted - room temperature is key for the perfect cookie texture.
- Don't overmix the dough! Mix just until ingredients are combined to keep cookies tender.
- Use a cookie scoop for uniform cookie sizes to ensure even baking.
- Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to prevent breaking.
- For extra decadence, sprinkle a few extra ruby chocolate chips on top of cookies right after baking.
- Store cookies in an airtight container to maintain their soft, chewy texture.
- For best flavor, let cookie dough rest in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before baking if time permits.
