Description
Soft, chewy cookies that melt in your mouth, perfect for fall gatherings and family moments.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips (or your choice of mix-ins)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla extract until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined. Do not overmix!
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Drop tablespoons of dough onto ungreased baking sheets, leaving space for spreading. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown around the edges.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For different flavors, substitute chocolate chips with raisins, chopped nuts, or dried cranberries.
