Cuisine: American
Serves: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar using an electric mixer. Beat on medium speed for 3-4 minutes until the mixture becomes light, fluffy, and pale in color.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Incorporate the vanilla extract and mix until well combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl to ensure even mixing.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt to ensure even distribution of the leavening agents and prevent clumping.
- Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to tough cookies.
- Fold in the chocolate chips using a spatula, distributing them evenly throughout the cookie dough.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow room for spreading.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set but still soft.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes to firm up slightly.
- Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely. The cookies will continue to set as they cool.
- Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or freeze for longer storage.
Tips
- • Ensure your butter is truly softened but not melted - this creates the perfect cookie texture • Use room temperature eggs for better ingredient incorporation • Don't overmix the dough - this can lead to tough cookies • Use a cookie scoop for uniform cookie sizes • Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking for even more flavor development • Use high-quality chocolate chips for the best taste • Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes to help them set properly • Store in an airtight container to maintain freshness • For extra indulgence, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top before baking
