Chocolate Chip Cookies
Description
The dough starts by creaming room temperature butter with both light brown and granulated sugars until light and fluffy. Eggs and vanilla extract are then blended in before adding flour, baking soda, and salt. Milk chocolate chips are folded into the dough, ensuring even distribution. Each cookie scoop is placed on a lined baking sheet with room to spread, with extra chocolate chips pressed on top before baking.
Cookies bake at 350°F for 10 to 12 minutes, just until the edges turn golden while the centers remain chewy. Cooling them on the pan allows them to set without overbaking. The milk chocolate chips provide smooth, sweet bites contrasting with the cookie dough’s caramelized notes from the sugars and butter.
This cookie is a traditional, approachable recipe suitable for everyday baking, offering reliably tender and flavorful chocolate chip cookies with a balance of crunchy edges and soft middles.
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter room temperature, 2 sticks
