These homemade chocolate chip cookies are soft in the center, lightly crisp on the edges, and packed with melty chocolate chips. They come together quickly with simple pantry ingredients and bake into classic, bakery-style cookies that are perfect for sharing, gifting, or enjoying warm from the oven.
Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour spooned and leveled
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar light or dark
- 2 large eggs room temperature
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and creamy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then mix in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix just until combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers look slightly underbaked.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
