If you’re looking for the best chocolate chip cookie recipe, this one is it. They come out perfectly soft, chewy, and buttery every time.
Ingredients
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 & 1/3 cups butter I use salted
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1 tsp. baking soda
- 1 tsp. salt
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups milk chocolate chips I use Ghirardelli
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 375°F and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
-
Cream together the sugars and the butter until light and fluffy. Scrape the sides with a spatula, as needed.
-
Add the eggs, one at a time, and mix well between additions. Scrape the sides with a spatula.
-
Add the vanilla and mix well.
-
In a medium bowl, combine the baking soda, salt, and flour.
-
Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, 1/2 cup at a time, until it is fully incorporated and the dough begins to pull from the edges.
-
Add chocolate chips and mix well.
-
Drop by the spoonful onto an ungreased cookie sheet.
-
Bake for 7-9 minutes. {They may not seem done because they are still really soft, but trust me - this is how you want them to be!}
-
Transfer to a cooling rack and let cool completely. This will help everything to solidify and end up soft and chewy.
