- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups chocolate chips
Instructions
Follow these simple steps to make the perfect chocolate chip cookies:
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2: Cream the Butter and Sugars
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Step 3: Add the Eggs and Vanilla Extract
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Then, mix in the vanilla extract.
Step 4: Combine the Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Step 5: Gradually Add the Dry Ingredients
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.
Step 6: Fold in the Chocolate Chips
Gently fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Step 7: Scoop the Cookie Dough
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Step 8: Bake the Cookies
Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown around the edges. The centers may still appear slightly underbaked, but they will firm up as they cool.
Step 9: Cool and Enjoy!
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, indulge in these delicious homemade chocolate chip cookies!
