Units
Scale
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips or chunks
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
- In a large bowl, beat butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
- Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Mix just until combined.
- Fold in chocolate chips or chunks.
- Scoop dough into 1.5-inch balls and place on baking sheets 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden and centers look slightly underbaked.
- Cool on the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
- Use room temperature butter for proper creaming.
- Don’t overbake—slightly underbaked centers keep cookies soft.
- Microwave baked cookies for 8–10 seconds to revive gooey texture.
- Chill dough for 30 minutes to enhance flavor and reduce spread.
- Use a mix of chocolate chunks and chips for varied texture.
