Classic Chocolate Chip Cookies
These warm, gooey chocolate chip cookies bring comfort with every bite — soft centers, crisp edges, and that nostalgic homemade aroma that makes a house feel like home.
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- ¾ cup brown sugar, packed
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 cups chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth.
- Beat in the vanilla and eggs until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture, mixing until just combined.
- Stir in the chocolate chips.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto ungreased baking sheets.
- Bake for 9–11 minutes, or until the edges are golden.
- Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
Notes
For chewier cookies, take them out when they look slightly underbaked — they’ll finish cooking on the sheet. Use room-temperature butter for the best texture. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or freeze dough for future baking. A sprinkle of sea salt on top before baking adds a lovely balance of sweet and salty.
