Classic Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe
Ingredients (Makes ~24 cookies)
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ¾ cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
1. Preheat Oven
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
2. Mix Wet Ingredients
- In a large bowl, cream together softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in eggs, one at a time.
- Stir in vanilla extract.
3. Combine Dry Ingredients
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
4. Add Chocolate Chips
- Fold in chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough.
5. Portion Cookies
- Scoop dough using a tablespoon or cookie scoop onto prepared baking sheets, spacing ~2 inches apart.
6. Bake
- Bake 9–12 minutes, until edges are golden but centers are still soft.
- Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 2 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
Tips
- Chewier cookies: Use more brown sugar than granulated sugar.
- Crispier cookies: Bake a minute or two longer.
- Extra flavor: Add ½ tsp cinnamon or 1 cup chopped nuts.
- Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
I can also give a quick, one-bowl chocolate chip cookie recipe that doesn’t require chilling the dough and is ready in 20–25 minutes if you want faster cookies.
