Description
Soft and chewy chocolate chip cookies with golden edges and gooey centers, packed with rich semi sweet chocolate in every bite.
Ingredients
- All Purpose Flour: 2 1/4 cups
- Baking Soda: 1 teaspoon
- Salt: 1/2 teaspoon
- Unsalted Butter: 1 cup, softened
- Granulated Sugar: 3/4 cup
- Brown Sugar: 3/4 cup, packed
- Vanilla Extract: 2 teaspoons
- Eggs: 2 large
- Semi Sweet Chocolate Chips: 2 cups
Instructions
- Preheat Your Equipment: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Combine Ingredients: Whisk flour, baking soda, and salt in a bowl. In a separate bowl cream softened butter with granulated sugar and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, then add vanilla extract. Gradually mix dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
- Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: Ensure baking sheets are properly lined and ready for evenly spaced dough portions.
- Assemble the Dish: Fold in semi sweet chocolate chips gently. Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough and place them 2 inches apart on baking sheets.
- Cook to Perfection: Bake for 9 to 11 minutes until edges are golden and centers look slightly soft.
- Finishing Touches: Allow cookies to rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve warm for gooey centers or cool completely for a classic chewy texture.
Notes
- Chill dough for 30 minutes for thicker cookies.
- Do not overmix once flour is added to maintain tenderness.
- Slightly underbake for soft centers.
- Sprinkle a pinch of flaky salt on top before baking for flavor contrast.
