Total Time: 27 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and packed brown sugar. Beat until the mixture becomes light and fluffy, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Incorporate 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 dry ingredients.
- Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the dough.
- Fold in the chocolate chips using a rubber 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 to allow room for spreading.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers look slightly soft but set.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes to allow them to firm up slightly.
- Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely. The cookies will continue to set as they cool.
- Store the 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 truly softened but not melted for the perfect cookie texture.
- Don't Overmix: Mix ingredients just until combined to keep cookies tender and soft.
- Use Quality Chocolate: Choose high-quality chocolate chips for the most luxurious flavor.
- Consistent Size: Use a cookie scoop for uniform cookies that bake evenly.
- Watch Baking Time: Remove cookies when edges are golden but centers still look slightly soft.
- Cool Completely: Let cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to prevent breaking.
- Storage Tip: Store in an airtight container to maintain freshness and soft texture.
