Description
A classic recipe for soft and chewy chocolate chip cookies, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (6 oz) semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup (6 oz) milk chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Stir in both types of chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still soft. Do not overbake for chewy cookies.
- Remove from oven and let cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For extra chewy cookies, try chilling the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. You can also add a sprinkle of sea salt on top of the cookies before baking for a sweet and salty contrast.
