Delicious Chocolate Chip Cookies
Get ready to indulge in some of the best chocolate chip cookies you’ve ever tasted! This recipe will guide you through the simple steps to create cookies that are soft on the inside, slightly crispy on the edges, and loaded with gooey chocolate chips.
### Ingredients:
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring they are well incorporated into the mixture.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix!
- Fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of dough onto ungreased baking sheets, leaving enough space between each cookie to allow for spreading.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 9 to 11 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. The centers may look a little soft – that’s perfect!
- Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy these delectable cookies warm from the oven or store them in an airtight container for the perfect treat anytime. Happy baking!
