Indulge in these deliciously chewy chocolate chip cookies that are soft in the center and slightly crisp on the edges. Perfect for any occasion, these cookies are a classic favorite that combines the rich flavor of chocolate with a sweet buttery dough. Bake a batch and enjoy a taste of homemade goodness straight from your oven.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth.
Add the vanilla extract and eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Fold in the chocolate chips.
Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
Allow cooling on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
For best results, use room temperature butter and eggs. You can experiment with chocolate chip varieties (milk, dark, or semi-sweet) for different flavor profiles.Store cookies in an airtight container to keep them soft. Try adding nuts or sea salt on top for extra flavor!
