Description
These chocolate chip cookies are soft in the center, golden on the edges, and full of rich chocolate flavor. A perfect homemade treat made in under 30 minutes.
Ingredients
1 cup salted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup light brown sugar, packed
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2 large eggs
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon sea salt
2 cups chocolate chips (12 oz)
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Line three baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
2. In a medium bowl, mix flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
3. Cream together butter and both sugars until fully combined.
4. Beat in eggs and vanilla extract until light and smooth.
5. Mix in the dry ingredients until a soft dough forms.
6. Fold in the chocolate chips evenly.
7. Roll 2-3 tablespoons of dough into balls and place spaced on prepared baking sheets.
8. Bake for 8–10 minutes or until the edges are golden and centers still look soft.
9. Let cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack.
Notes
Do not overbake—the cookies should look slightly doughy when removed from the oven.
For convection ovens, reduce baking temperature by 25°F.
For substitutions, use vegan butter, flax eggs, or gluten-free flour as needed.
Cookie dough can be frozen for up to 2 months.
Baked cookies stay fresh in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
