There's nothing quite like a warm, freshly baked chocolate chip cookie. This classic recipe delivers perfectly golden cookies with crispy edges and soft, chewy centers loaded with melty chocolate chips.
Ingredients
- 2¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ¾ cup packed brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Directions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
Beat in eggs one at a time, then add vanilla extract and mix until combined.
Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined.
Fold in the chocolate chips with a spatula or wooden spoon.
Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto ungreased baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the centers still look slightly underdone.
Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
