Chocolate Chip Cookies
I've used this Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe for years now, and it never disappoints. They're soft and chewy in the middle, crisp around the edges, and packed with melty chocolate in every bite.
Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour (spooned and levelled)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 large eggs (room temp)
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups chocolate chips (I love dark chocolate or semi-sweet)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F and line three baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt together. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, beat the butter, sugar, and brown sugar for 2–3 minutes until light and fluffy. Mix in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gently fold in the dry ingredients until just combined. Stir in the chocolate chips.
- Scoop the dough into 2 tablespoon portions and place them on the prepared baking sheets, leaving 2 inches between each.
- Bake for 8–11 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown. Let the cookies cool on the sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
