Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Add-ins
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather all ingredients and allow the unsalted butter to soften at room temperature so it blends smoothly with the sugars.
- Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt to ensure even distribution of leavening agents for a consistent rise.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat the softened butter with granulated sugar and brown sugar until creamy and light in color, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: Mix in the eggs and vanilla extract one at a time, beating well after each addition until fully combined and smooth.
- Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring just until no flour streaks remain. Be careful not to overmix to avoid tough cookies.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips: Stir in the semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough to ensure each cookie is chocolatey.
- Scoop and Bake: Scoop generous portions of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing adequately. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10-12 minutes until edges are lightly golden and centers remain soft.
Notes
- Use room temperature ingredients for a tender, fluffy cookie.
- Do not overmix the dough; stir just until combined.
- Chill the dough for 30 minutes to prevent spread and deepen flavor.
- Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and promote even baking.
- Remove cookies from oven when edges are golden but centers still soft for signature gooeyness.
- Store cookies airtight at room temperature up to 5 days, or freeze for longer storage.
- Warm cookies briefly to restore softness and gooey texture before serving.
