Indulge your sweet tooth with these classic chocolate chip cookies. These cookies are soft and chewy on the inside with a golden, slightly crispy exterior, and loaded with gooey chocolate chips. Perfect for satisfying your cravings or sharing with friends and family.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until well combined.
- Fold in the semisweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. The centers may still look slightly underbaked.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
