Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
Sugars
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ¾ cup packed brown sugar
Add-ins
- 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Cream butter and sugars: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together with an electric mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy. This step ensures your cookies have a tender texture and balanced sweetness.
- Add eggs, flour, and chocolate chips: Gradually add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, slowly incorporate the all-purpose flour until just combined. Finally, fold in the chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough.
- Bake the cookies: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Drop spoonfuls of dough evenly spaced onto an ungreased baking sheet. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown but the centers remain slightly soft. Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For chewier cookies, slightly underbake and let them cool on the baking sheet.
- You can substitute the chocolate chips with chunks or different types of chocolate for variation.
- Make sure your butter is softened, not melted, for the best creaming results.
- Use parchment paper on your baking sheet to prevent sticking and aid in even baking.
