Description
Classic chocolate chip cookies with crisp golden edges, soft centers, and pockets of melted chocolate in every bite.
Ingredients
- 1 cup (225 g) unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup (150 g) granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup (165 g) brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups (280 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups (340 g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Cream together butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add eggs one at a time, then mix in vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually mix dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Scoop dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing evenly.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes until edges are golden but centers are still soft.
- Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
