Here’s a simple and delicious cookie recipe for classic chocolate chip cookies:
Classic Chocolate Chip Cookies
Ingredients:
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a small bowl, whisk together the flour and baking soda; set aside.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, beat the butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and salt together until smooth and creamy. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then mix in the vanilla extract.
- Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
- Scoop and Bake: Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto ungreased baking sheets, leaving space between each cookie. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden but the centers are still soft.
- Cool: Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy!
These cookies are best enjoyed fresh, but you can store them in an airtight container for several days. Happy baking!
