Equipment
- Mixing bowls
- Hand mixer or stand mixer
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Baking sheet
- Parchment paper or silicone baking mat
- Cookie scoop or tablespoon
- Cooling rack (optional)
Ingredients
- 1 cup 226g unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup 150g brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup 100g granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs room temperature
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups 280g all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups 340g semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place parchment paper or a silicone baking mat on a baking sheet to line it.
- Cream the butter and sugars together in a large mixing bowl using a hand mixer or stand mixer for 2–3 minutes until the mixture is fluffy and light in color.
- Stir in the eggs and vanilla extract into the creamed butter mixture. Mix until well combined.
- Mix dry ingredients in a separate bowl—combine flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips using a spatula or wooden spoon, ensuring even distribution in the dough.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes for thicker cookies (optional but helps with texture and spread).
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop dough onto the baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes or until the edges turn golden and the centers are slightly firm.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before moving them to a cooling rack to finish cooling.
Notes
For an extra special touch, add a pinch of flaky sea salt to the top of each cookie before baking. The salty contrast with the rich chocolate creates a flavor balance that takes these cookies to the next level! Also, feel free to get creative with the chocolate—try using milk, dark, or white chocolate chips, or a combination for a delightful twist on this classic favorite.
