The Ultimate Chocolate Chip Cookies

This nostalgic chocolate chip cookie recipe features a perfect balance of rich chocolate, buttery goodness, and delightful textures, making it a favorite for all occasions.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Crack in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then add the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt, then gradually add it to the wet ingredients, mixing on low until just combined.
  5. Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips gently with a spatula.
  6. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop dollops of dough about 2 inches apart and bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are golden brown and the centers are soft.
  7. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For best results, chill your dough for 30 minutes before baking to prevent flat cookies.
