Cuisine: American
Serves: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups chocolate chips
Instructions
- Prepare your workspace by preheating the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt until well combined. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Add vanilla extract and eggs to the butter-sugar mixture, beating well after each addition. Ensure the mixture is smooth and fully incorporated.
- Gradually add the dry flour 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.
- For freezer-style preparation, scoop cookie dough balls onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Place the sheet in the freezer for 1-2 hours until dough balls are completely frozen.
- Transfer frozen dough balls to a large freezer-safe storage bag or container. Label with the date and contents. These can be stored frozen for up to 3 months.
- When ready to bake, place frozen dough balls directly on a prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are golden brown and centers are set.
- Remove from oven and let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Tips
- Use room temperature butter and eggs for the smoothest, most consistent dough texture.
- When scooping dough balls for freezing, use a cookie scoop for uniform size and even baking.
- Freeze cookie dough balls on a flat surface to prevent them from sticking together.
- Label your freezer bag with the date and type of cookies to keep track of freshness.
- For best results, bake frozen dough directly without thawing to maintain the perfect cookie shape.
- Invest in high-quality chocolate chips for maximum flavor impact.
- Allow cookies to cool completely before storing to prevent moisture buildup.
- Experiment with different types of chocolate chips or add nuts for variety.
