How To Make Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookies

April 29, 2018

Ingredients (makes ~24 cookies):

  • 1 cup (225g) unsalted butter, softened

  • 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar

  • 3/4 cup (165g) packed brown sugar

  • 2 large eggs

  • 2 tsp vanilla extract

  • 2 1/4 cups (280g) all-purpose flour

  • 1 tsp baking soda

  • 1/2 tsp salt

  • 2 cups (340g) semi-sweet chocolate chips


Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven: 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. Cream butter & sugars: In a large bowl, beat softened butter with granulated and brown sugar until creamy.

  3. Add eggs & vanilla: Mix in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla.

  4. Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to the wet mixture.

  5. Add chocolate chips: Stir until evenly distributed.

  6. Scoop cookies: Drop tablespoon-sized portions onto prepared baking sheet, spacing about 2 inches apart.

  7. Bake: 9–11 minutes, or until edges are golden and centers are set.

  8. Cool: Let cookies sit on the baking sheet 2 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.


Tips:

  • For chewier cookies, slightly underbake (take out when centers look soft).

  • You can swap 1 cup of chocolate chips for chopped nuts if desired.

  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
