Ingredients

Scale

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

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Step 5: Fold in Chocolate Chips – Gently stir the chocolate chips into the dough to distribute them evenly without deflating the mixture.
  6. 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.
