Deliciously rich and buttery homemade chocolate chip cookies with a perfect balance of crispy exterior and chewy center.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Cream the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, and mix in the vanilla extract.
  4. Combine the flour, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
  5. Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  6. Scoop rounded balls of dough onto an ungreased baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden around the edges.
  7. Cool the cookies on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Store cookies in an airtight container to maintain freshness. For chewier cookies, add a slice of bread to the container.
