Soft and Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies
These cookies are a crowd favorite, perfect for any occasion—whether you’re just treating yourself or want to impress your friends and family. Trust me, once you bake these, you’ll be the cookie hero!
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 semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line your baking sheets with parchment paper, so those cookies don’t stick.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. You want them all combined nicely!
- In another bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this to the wet mixture, mixing until just blended.
- Fold in the chocolate chips. Go ahead, stir it up! You want every bite to be packed with those delicious chips.
- Drop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto your prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden but the centers are still soft. That’s how you get that chewy goodness!
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
And there you have it—soft, chewy cookies that are sure to bring a smile to anyone’s face. Enjoy them fresh out of the oven or store them for later. Either way, these treats will be a hit every time!
