Description
A classic recipe for delicious chocolate chip cookies that are soft and chewy.
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 semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract together until creamy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, stirring until just combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips and nuts (if using).
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 9 to 11 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
Notes
- For chewier cookies, chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking.
- Try using different types of chocolate chips, such as dark chocolate or white chocolate, for a unique twist.
