Nothing beats a warm chocolate chip cookie fresh from the oven! With crisp edges, a chewy center, and gooey chocolate chips in every bite, this recipe is your go-to for cookie perfection.
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat to 375°F (190°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, beat butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in eggs one at a time, then mix in vanilla extract.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips: Stir in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
- Shape Cookies: Scoop dough into 1 1/2-inch balls and place them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake: Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until edges are golden and centers look slightly underbaked.
- Cool: Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Tips for Perfect Cookies
- Chill the dough: Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes for thicker, chewier cookies.
- Mix chocolate varieties: Combine semisweet, dark, and milk chocolate for a flavor boost.
- Avoid overbaking: The cookies will continue to set as they cool.
