Chocolate Chip Cookies
Nothing beats the smell of freshly baked chocolate chip cookies. This simple recipe will help you create soft, chewy, and irresistible cookies that everyone will love!
Ingredients
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until creamy and smooth.
- Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips using a spatula.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers look slightly underbaked.
- Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 2 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Tips for Perfect Cookies
- For extra chewy cookies, use more brown sugar than granulated sugar.
- Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking to prevent spreading.
- Add a sprinkle of sea salt on top of the cookies before baking for a gourmet touch.
- Use high-quality chocolate chips for the best flavor.
Serving Suggestions
Serve your chocolate chip cookies warm with a glass of cold milk or hot coffee. These cookies also make great treats for parties, holiday gifts, or simple indulgence on a cozy day.
Storage Tips
Store your cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. You can also freeze the dough in portioned scoops to bake fresh cookies whenever you want!
