Description

These perfect chocolate chip cookies are soft, chewy, and packed with gooey chocolate chips. They’re easy to make and come out perfect every time.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 1 cup (220g) packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 cups (360g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 cups (340g) semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips.
  7. Drop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.
  9. Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Use room temperature butter for easier mixing.
  • Chilling the dough for 30 minutes can enhance flavor and texture.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container for up to a week.
