Baking cookies is one of the simplest joys in the kitchen, especially when you have a go to recipe that always turns out perfectly. This recipe creates a batch with golden edges and a soft, buttery center that everyone in the family will love.

My secret for success is to make sure your butter is softened but not melted. If you have extra time, chilling the dough for thirty minutes before baking helps keep the cookies from spreading too much in the oven.

Ingredients

1 cup unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 1/4 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups semi sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

1
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
2
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is smooth and fluffy.
3
Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture until just combined, then fold in the chocolate chips.
6
Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto ungreased baking sheets.
7
Bake for 9 to 11 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
8
Cool the cookies on the baking sheet for five minutes before moving them to a wire rack to cool completely.

💡 Tips

Store these cookies in an airtight container at room temperature to keep them soft for up to five days. You can also freeze the raw dough scoops on a tray and store them in a freezer bag for up to three months.
