Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Supporting Ingredients:
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
Flavor Enhancers:
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Warm your oven to 350°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper so your cookies won’t stick.
- Grab a medium bowl and whisk 2 ¼ cups flour, 1 tsp baking soda, and ½ tsp salt until everything is evenly distributed.
- In a separate large bowl, cream 1 cup softened butter with ¾ cup brown sugar and ¾ cup granulated sugar for 3 minutes until the mixture looks light and fluffy.
- Crack 2 large eggs into the butter mixture, adding them one at a time, and blend in 2 tsp vanilla extract until smooth.
- Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients slowly, stirring just until combined. Do not overmix your dough.
- Gently fold 1 cup chocolate chips into the cookie dough, distributing them evenly throughout.
- Drop rounded tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, keeping each cookie about 2 inches apart.
- Slide the sheets into the 350°F oven and bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges turn golden and the centers remain soft.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for 2-3 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
- Measure ingredients precisely to ensure consistent cookie texture and prevent spreading during baking.
- Room temperature butter and eggs blend more smoothly, creating a softer, more even cookie crumb.
- For extra richness, swap half the chocolate chips with chopped nuts or caramel pieces to add interesting texture.
- Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to five days, separating layers with parchment to prevent sticking.
