Description

Golden, chewy chocolate chip cookies with a soft center and rich, buttery flavor—classic comfort in every bite.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light 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 mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
  7. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each.
  8. Bake for 10–12 minutes until the edges are golden and the centers remain soft.
  9. Cool on the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For extra gooey centers, slightly underbake the cookies.
  • Chill dough for 30 minutes for thicker cookies.
  • Use a mix of chocolate chunks and chips for texture variation.
