Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup light brown sugar (packed)
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 2.5 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). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar together using a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed until light and creamy, about 2 minutes.
Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix on low speed until just combined—do not overmix.
Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips using a rubber spatula or wooden spoon.
Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Slightly flatten the tops of the dough balls with the back of a spoon.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8–10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the centers look slightly undercooked.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your tender, crispy chocolate chip cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage!
