Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy.
- Step 2: Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- Step 3: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Step 4: Stir in the chocolate chips.
- Step 5: Drop by rounded tablespoons onto ungreased baking sheets.
- Step 6: Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft. Let cool on baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature to keep them soft and chewy.
- For a warm, melty chocolate experience, microwave a cookie for 10-15 seconds before enjoying.
- Serve these rockstar cookies with a tall glass of cold milk for the ultimate comforting treat.
- For extra chewy cookies, chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking – patience pays off!
