Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 2.25 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, beat the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together using an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture is creamy and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Then, mix in the vanilla extract.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips using a spatula or wooden spoon, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop 1.5-inch dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake each batch for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers look slightly underbaked. Do not overbake, as the cookies will firm up as they cool.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your chewy chocolate chip cookies with a glass of cold milk or as a standalone treat!
