Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
Add-ins
- 2 cups chocolate chips (semi-sweet or your choice)
- 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set this mixture aside for later.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter with granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until the mixture is creamy and smooth.
- Add Eggs: Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next to create a uniform batter.
- Combine Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Avoid overmixing to maintain cookie texture. Fold in chocolate chips and nuts if using.
- Portion Dough: Using a large scoop or measuring 1/4 cup per cookie, drop the dough onto prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each for spreading.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown while the centers remain soft and chewy.
- Cool: Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely, which helps them set properly.
Notes
- For thicker cookies, chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking.
- Use parchment paper or silicone baking mats to prevent sticking and promote even baking.
- Optional nuts add crunch but can be omitted for nut-free diets.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
- Customize with your favorite type of chocolate chips or add dried fruits for variety.
