Cuisine: dessert
Serves: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Add eggs one at a time to the butter-sugar mixture, beating well after each addition. Mix in vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt to ensure even distribution of leavening agents.
- Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Fold in chocolate chips using a spatula, distributing them evenly throughout the cookie dough.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded portions of dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing cookies about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are golden brown and centers are set but still soft.
- Remove from oven and let cookies cool on baking sheets 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 smoother batter integration • Don't overmix the dough - this keeps cookies tender and prevents toughness • Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking for more concentrated flavors • Use a cookie scoop for uniform size and even baking • Let cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes to firm up before transferring • For extra indulgence, sprinkle sea salt on top right after baking • Store in an airtight container with a slice of bread to maintain softness
