A timeless treat that combines soft, chewy centers with crispy edges, perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. Cream butter and sugars: In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Add eggs: Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing until fully incorporated after each addition.
  5. Combine mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients. Mix just until combined.
  6. Fold in chocolate chips: Gently fold in the chocolate chips using a spatula or wooden spoon.
  7. Scoop and arrange: Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto ungreased baking sheets, leaving space between each cookie.
  8. Bake: Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
  9. Cool: Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.

Notes

For best results, use room temperature ingredients and avoid overbaking. Chilling the dough can enhance flavor and texture.
