Soft and Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies

These cookies are soft, chewy, and packed with chocolate chips, creating the perfect balance of flavors. The best part? They are incredibly easy to make, and the results are utterly delicious!

Ingredients:

• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup brown sugar, packed
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 3 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). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
3. Add in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
5. Fold in the chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
6. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are slightly golden but the centers are still soft. Do not overbake, as they will continue to cook on the baking sheet once removed from the oven.
8. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Enjoy your homemade Soft and Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies with a glass of milk, or share them with loved ones. These cookies are best enjoyed fresh, but you can store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for a few days. Happy baking!
