Classic chocolate chip cookies with soft centers and golden edges, perfect for a comforting treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl. Set the dry mix aside.
  3. Beat the softened butter with the granulated and brown sugars and the vanilla in a large bowl until light and fluffy, about 2 to 3 minutes.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips until distributed throughout the dough.
  7. Drop rounded spoonfuls onto the lined baking sheets, spaced about two inches apart.
  8. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until edges are light golden and centers look soft.
  9. Let cookies rest on the baking sheet for 2 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.

Notes

For chewier cookies, swap half the all-purpose flour for bread flour. Use dark brown sugar for a deeper flavor. For a dairy-free version, substitute with plant-based butter.
