Total Time: 22 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 36 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 large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar using an electric mixer. Beat on medium speed for 3-4 minutes until the mixture becomes light and fluffy.
- Add vanilla extract and eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Ensure the eggs are well incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
- 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. Do not overmix.
- Fold in the chocolate chips using a spatula, distributing them evenly throughout the dough.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, 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 before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
Tips
- • Ensure your butter is truly softened but not melted - this creates the perfect cookie texture • Use room temperature eggs for more even mixing and better cookie consistency • Don't overmix the dough after adding flour to keep cookies tender • Use a cookie scoop for uniform cookie sizes and even baking • Let cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes after baking to help them set • For extra indulgence, sprinkle a few extra chocolate chips on top of each cookie right after baking • Store in an airtight container to maintain freshness and soft texture • For best results, use high-quality chocolate chips and pure vanilla extract
