Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup Brown sugar (lightly packed)
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 large Eggs
- 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 baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Beat in the vanilla extract and eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, mixing just until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the chocolate chips using a spatula or wooden spoon, making sure they are distributed evenly throughout the dough.
Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers look slightly underbaked (they will set as they cool).
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy Granny’s chocolate chip cookies fresh or store in an airtight container for up to one week!
