Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup (softened) unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar (packed)
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 eggs
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup optional toppings (such as chopped nuts or sprinkles)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°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 brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy (about 2 minutes).
Add the vanilla extract and eggs to the mixture, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Gently fold in the chocolate chips and any optional toppings, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers look slightly underbaked (they will continue to cook on the baking sheet).
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your World's Best Cookies with a glass of cold milk or your favorite beverage!
