Ingredients:
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter (softened)
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup brown sugar (packed)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- Mix Wet Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until creamy and smooth.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Combine Dry Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
- Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Fold in the chocolate chips with a spatula or wooden spoon.
- Form Cookies:
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the centers are still soft.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Tips:
- For chewier cookies, underbake them slightly, as they will continue to set as they cool on the baking sheet.
- You can add nuts or use different types of chocolate chips (milk chocolate, dark chocolate, or white chocolate) to customize your cookies.
- If you prefer a thicker cookie, chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before baking.
Enjoy your easy chocolate chip cookies!
