Indulge in these classic chocolate chip cookies, crispy on the edges and chewy in the center. This recipe yields approximately 24 cookies.
Ingredients:
• 2¼ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
• ¾ cup granulated sugar
• ¾ cup packed brown sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions:
1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
3. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until creamy and smooth.
4. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated. Mix in the vanilla extract.
5. Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing to maintain a tender cookie texture.
6. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the semisweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
7. Portion Dough: Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
8. Bake: Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the centers remain soft.
9. Cool: Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 2 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
Tips:
• For chewier cookies, slightly underbake them, removing them from the oven when the centers are still soft.
• Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for even mixing.
• For added flavor, consider toasting the nuts before adding them to the dough.
