Chocolate Chip Cookies
Description
The cookies start with creaming softened butter with both white and brown sugars to create a smooth base. Eggs and vanilla extract are added next, providing moisture and flavor. Baking soda dissolved in hot water and salt are mixed in to help the dough rise and develop texture. Then all-purpose flour and semisweet chocolate chips are folded in to complete the batter. The dough is dropped by spoonfuls onto ungreased pans with space for spreading.
Baked in a 350°F oven for about 10 minutes, the cookies develop golden edges while remaining soft inside. The combination of sugars gives chewiness, while the baking soda and hot water promote tenderness. These cookies are a familiar classic, suitable for everyday baking and easy to share.
This recipe is straightforward to follow and does not require chilling the dough, making it a convenient choice for homemade treats. Ensure enough space on the baking sheet for spreading to avoid merging cookies.
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter softened, unsalted
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar packed
- 2 egg
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 2 tsp water hot
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Cream together the butter, white sugar, and brown sugar until smooth.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla. Dissolve the baking soda in the hot water. Add it to the batter along with the salt.
- Stir in the flour, followed by the chocolate chips.
- Drop the batter by large spoonfuls onto ungreased pans. Make sure to leave enough space between each piece (about 2 inches) to account for spreading.
- Bake the cookies for about 10 minutes in the preheated oven or until edges are nicely browned.
