Soft and Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies
First, let’s take a moment to gaze at this deliciousness:
Now that we’ve set the mood, here’s what you’ll need to whip up these beauties:
Ingredients:
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup packed light-brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon coarse salt
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups semisweet and/or milk chocolate chips
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Trust me, the smell of these cookies baking will fill your kitchen with pure joy!
- In a bowl, whisk together the flour and baking soda; set aside. This is key to getting that perfect texture!
- In another large bowl, with an electric mixer, beat the butter and sugars on medium speed until light and fluffy. You want that nice, creamy consistency.
- Add in the salt, vanilla, and eggs, and mix until combined. Don’t be afraid to give it a good mix; we want all those flavors to meld together!
- Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, or you’ll lose that chewy goodness!
- Fold in those heavenly chocolate chips, making sure every bite is packed with them.
- Drop heaping tablespoons of dough onto baking sheets lined with parchment paper, spacing them out so they have room to grow.
- Bake until the edges are golden brown but the centers are still soft – about 10-12 minutes. They’ll firm up as they cool, so don’t be tempted to overbake!
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
Once they’re cool, grab a glass of milk or your favorite beverage, and indulge in these soft and chewy delights. Trust me, everyone will be coming back for seconds!
