There is nothing quite like the smell of fresh cookies baking in the oven. This recipe creates a classic cookie with crispy edges and a soft middle that stays delicious for days.

My best tip is to use room temperature butter so it creams together perfectly with your sugar. You will love how simple and reliable these are for a quick weekend baking project.

Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, cream the butter, brown sugar, and white sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy.

  3. 3

    Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.

  4. 4

    Whisk the flour, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl before slowly adding these dry ingredients to the butter mixture.

  5. 5

    Fold in the chocolate chips by hand.

  6. 6

    Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto your prepared baking sheet.

  7. 7

    Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until the edges are golden brown, then let them cool on the pan for 5 minutes before moving them to a wire rack.

💡 Tips

Store your cooled cookies in an airtight container for up to five days to keep them soft. You can also freeze the raw dough scoops for a month and bake them directly from frozen by adding two extra minutes to the timer.
