Classic Chocolate Chip Cookies
These cookies are soft, chewy, and bursting with chocolatey goodness. The balance of ingredients ensures that each bite is a perfect harmony of flavor and texture.
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon 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
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- In another bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until well blended.
- Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips, ensuring that they're evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto ungreased baking sheets, leaving space between each cookie to allow for spreading.
- Bake for 9 to 11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. The centers may look slightly underbaked; this is perfect for that chewy texture.
- Remove from the oven and cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
