Description
Delicious chocolate chip cookies with crispy edges and a chewy center, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened (room temperature)
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed (light or dark)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups chocolate chips (semisweet or mix with dark)
- Flaked sea salt for topping (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
- Cream the softened butter with both the granulated and brown sugars and the vanilla extract until smooth and slightly fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time until the batter is glossy and uniform.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips with a spatula until evenly distributed.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto baking sheets, leaving space for spreading.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until the edges turn golden brown and centers look slightly soft.
- Sprinkle cookies with flaked sea salt if desired. Let rest before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
Notes
For a dairy-free version, use vegan butter and dairy-free chocolate chips. Measure flour correctly to avoid dense cookies.
