Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup (softened) unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup brown sugar (packed)
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 large egg
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon milk (optional for adjusting dough texture)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to cream together the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy (approximately 2-3 minutes).
Add the vanilla extract and eggs to the bowl. Mix until fully incorporated, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the flour mixture 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 to evenly distribute them throughout the dough.
For a more structured dough, refrigerate the mixture for 20-30 minutes. Skip this step if you plan to eat the dough raw and prefer a softer texture.
To bake cookies, preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown but the centers remain soft.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
If enjoying raw, ensure the flour is heat-treated to kill any potential bacteria. Simply bake the flour spread on a baking sheet at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes and let it cool before using.
