Description

Crispy on the edges, chewy in the center, and packed with gooey chocolate chips—these classic cookies are the ultimate comfort treat, perfect for any occasion.


Ingredients

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup unsalted butter, softened

3/4 cup granulated sugar

3/4 cup packed brown sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 large eggs

2 cups semisweet chocolate chips


Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla until creamy.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  5. Gradually beat in the flour mixture until just combined.
  6. Stir in the chocolate chips.
  7. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 9–11 minutes, until the edges are golden brown and centers are soft.
  9. Let cool on baking sheets for 2 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.

Notes

Chilling the dough helps prevent spreading and enhances flavor.

For added texture, mix in chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans.

Sprinkle sea salt on top before baking for a salty-sweet twist.

Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days or freeze for longer storage.

Microwave for 10–15 seconds to reheat and enjoy warm.
