Chocolate chip cookies are a timeless treat, loved by people of all ages. This soft and chewy chocolate chip cookie recipe delivers a batch of cookies with a perfect balance of tenderness, sweetness, and chocolatey goodness.

Ingredients

1 cup unsalted butter, softened

3/4 cup granulated sugar

3/4 cup packed brown sugar

1 tsp vanilla extract

2 large eggs

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

1 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth and fluffy.
  3. Add the eggs, one at a time, and mix in the vanilla extract. Beat until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips.
  7. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown, but the centers are still soft.
  9. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For a nutty addition, add 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts or pecans.
  • Substitute semi-sweet chocolate chips with dark chocolate chips for a richer flavor.
  • For mini cookies, use a teaspoon to scoop the dough and bake for 7-9 minutes.
  • Create s’mores-inspired cookies by adding mini marshmallows and crushed graham crackers.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container for up to a week; add a slice of bread to retain moisture.
  • Freeze the cookies for up to 3 months. You can also freeze the dough balls and bake from frozen.
  • Reheat cookies in the microwave for 10-15 seconds or at 300°F for about 5 minutes to restore softness.
