Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 teaspoons 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 mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then beat in the vanilla extract.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips with a spatula until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, portion out the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie to allow room for spreading.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers look set.
Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your Classic Crunchy Chocolate Chip Cookies, or store them in an airtight container for up to one week.
