Chocolate Chip Cookies
Description
This recipe blends softened butter with brown sugar and vanilla, then incorporates eggs for moisture and structure. Dry ingredients including flour, baking soda, and salt are added last, followed by semi-sweet chocolate chips mixed evenly into the dough.
The dough is portioned onto greased cookie sheets and baked at 350ºF for 10 to 12 minutes. The cookies bake until the bottoms turn golden brown, while the tops might appear soft but will firm up while cooling on the baking sheet. This creates a tender texture with slightly chewy centers and crisp edges.
Variations can include adding colorful sprinkles, substituting some chocolate chips with nuts, or incorporating chopped candies. The cookies can be stored at room temperature for up to four days or frozen for up to two months, thawing at room temperature before serving.
Ingredients
- 3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup butter softened
- 1 ½ cups brown sugar
- 1 ¼ teaspoon vanilla
- 2 egg room temperature
- 1 ½ cups chocolate chips semi-sweet
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Mix flour, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl and set aside.
- Mix butter with brown sugar in a different bowl. Add vanilla and eggs and mix until smooth and fluffy.
- Add flour mixture to wet ingredients and mix to combine. Then add chocolate chips.
- Drop onto greased cookie sheets and bake for 10-12 minutes or until bottoms are golden brown. The tops might still look doughy but they will cook as they sit on the cookie sheet. Let sit on cookie sheets for 5 minutes then remove to a wire rack and let cool.
Notes
- Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for three to four days.
- Freeze cookies in layers separated by parchment paper for up to two months; thaw before serving.
- Add sprinkles to the dough if a colorful touch is desired.
- Substitute half the chocolate chips with chopped nuts for added texture.
- Chopped candies such as M&Ms or peanut butter cups can be mixed into the dough for variety.
