- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 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 Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- Cream Butter and Sugars:
- In a large mixing bowl, beat softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until creamy and smooth.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla:
- Beat in eggs, one at a time, until well combined. Add vanilla extract and mix until incorporated.
- Combine Dry Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Mix Batter:
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Stir in chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Shape Cookies:
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 9 to 11 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the tops are just set.
- If baking multiple trays at once, rotate them halfway through baking for even cooking.
- Cool and Serve:
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
- Once cooled, store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature.
Tips:
- For extra chewy cookies, slightly underbake them and let them cool completely on the baking sheets.
- You can add chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans for extra texture if desired.
- Feel free to use a combination of milk and dark chocolate chips for a variety of flavors.
These easy chocolate chip cookies are perfect for satisfying your sweet cravings in no time! Enjoy!
