Chocolate Chip Sugar Cookies
Description
This cookie recipe starts with room temperature butter creamed with granulated sugar, then combined with egg and vanilla extract. Flour and baking soda are mixed in, and mini chocolate chips folded into the dough. Chilling the dough for at least an hour is essential to prevent excessive spreading during baking and to develop texture. Baking at 350°F until the cookies set but remain soft in the center creates tender cookies that hold their shape.
Mini chocolate chips provide small pockets of chocolate that melt slightly but don’t overpower the cookie’s buttery sweetness. The result is a batch of soft sugar cookies with a delicate crumb and chocolate bite.
These cookies are best stored covered at room temperature for up to four days, as they are fragile when fresh. They can be frozen for up to two months if desired. Use room temperature butter and chill the dough for consistent results. Gluten-free flour may be substituted using a 1-to-1 ratio.
