Main Ingredients
- 1 cup (227g) unsalted butter, softened
- ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
- ¾ cup (165g) brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 ¼ cups (280g) all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 cups (340g) chocolate chips or chunks
- Step 1: Cream the Butter and Sugars – Beat together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy to aerate it, which helps create the cookie’s soft center and crispy edges.
- Step 2: Add Eggs and Vanilla – Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then blend in the vanilla extract to build the cookie dough’s structure and flavor base.
- Step 3: Combine Dry Ingredients – In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt; sifting is recommended to avoid clumps and ensure even leavening.
- Step 4: Mix Dry and Wet Ingredients – Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture being careful not to overmix in order to maintain a tender and chewy texture.
- Step 5: Fold in Chocolate Chips – Gently stir the chocolate chips into the dough to distribute them evenly without deflating the mixture.
- Step 6: Scoop and Bake – Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Using a cookie scoop or spoon, place dough balls about 2 inches apart on parchment-lined baking sheets. Bake for 10–12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
Notes
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes to improve flavor and prevent the cookies from spreading too much.
- Do not overbake; aim to slightly underbake for a soft center that will continue to cook after removal from the oven.
- Use high-quality chocolate chips or chunks for best taste and texture.
- Ensure all ingredients, especially butter and eggs, are at room temperature for optimal mixing and texture.
- Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats to promote even baking and prevent sticking.
