Description
Bakery-Style Chocolate Chip Cookies are simply irresistible!
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Gradually mix in the dry ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Fold in the chocolate chips and nuts (if using) until evenly distributed.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still soft.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For a chewier cookie, refrigerate the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking.
- Substitute half of the chocolate chips with white chocolate or butterscotch chips for a different flavor profile.
