Description
A nostalgic recipe for classic chocolate chip cookies, perfect for creating warm memories in the kitchen.
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time until well blended.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the flour mixture to the creamed mixture, mixing until thoroughly combined.
- Stir in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto ungreased baking sheets, giving enough space for spreading.
- Bake for 9 to 11 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown.
- Allow cookies to cool on baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
Notes
For chewier cookies, chill the dough for about 30 minutes before baking; this helps prevent spreading.
