Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe
If you love soft and chewy cookies, this Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe is perfect. It is simple, warm and full of rich flavor.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat the Oven
- Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line your baking tray with parchment paper. This helps cookies bake evenly and not stick.
Mix Dry Ingredients
- In a bowl, add flour, baking soda and salt. Mix well using a spoon. Keep this mixture aside for later use.
Cream Butter and Sugar
- In another bowl, beat butter, brown sugar and white sugar. Mix until smooth and creamy. This step makes cookies soft and fluffy.
Add Eggs and Vanilla
- Add eggs one by one. Mix well after each egg. Then add vanilla extract. Beat until everything is smooth and well combined.
Combine Dry and Wet Mix
- Slowly add dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Mix gently until a soft dough forms. Do not overmix the dough.
Add Chocolate Chips
- Fold in the chocolate chips using a spatula. Make sure they spread evenly in the dough.
Shape the Cookies
- Scoop small portions of dough and place on the tray. Leave space between cookies so they spread properly.
Bake the Cookies
- Bake for 10–12 minutes. The edges should turn golden brown. The center should still look soft.
Cool Before Serving
- Remove cookies and let them cool on a rack. This helps them set properly and improves texture.
Notes
- Use room temperature butter for better mixing
- Do not overbake cookies
- Chill dough for thicker cookies
- Use good quality chocolate chips
- Always measure ingredients correctly
