Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup (softened) unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup (packed) light brown sugar
- 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 or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until the mixture is light 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 bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until a smooth dough forms. Avoid overmixing.
Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips using a spatula or wooden spoon until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Scoop the dough into 1.5-tablespoon-sized balls (or use a small cookie scoop) and place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers look slightly underbaked. This ensures a soft and chewy texture.
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.
Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy your homemade soft and chewy chocolate chip cookies!
