Nestle Toll House Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe
Description
This classic cookie recipe begins by blending softened butter with granulated and brown sugars until creamy, then incorporating vanilla and eggs for moisture and flavor. Dry ingredients—flour, baking soda, and salt—are combined separately and folded into the wet mixture. The dough is finished by folding in semi-sweet chocolate chips and optional chopped nuts for added crunch.
Cookies are dropped by rounded tablespoons onto ungreased light-colored baking sheets and baked at 375°F until they turn a light golden brown, usually 9 to 11 minutes. Slight underbaking is recommended to achieve a soft, chewy center as the cookies continue to firm slightly as they cool. Cooling on the baking sheet briefly before transferring to wire racks protects their shape and texture.
This recipe produces classic chocolate chip cookies with a familiar texture balance between tender centers and lightly browned edges. It is well suited for those who appreciate traditional cookies and allows for customization with or without nuts. Careful timing during baking ensures the desired doneness.
Ingredients
- 1 cup (2 sticks) butter (softened)
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup brown sugar packed
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large egg
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups (12-oz. pkg) semi-sweet chocolate morsels Nestle Toll House brand
- 1 cup nuts OPTIONAL, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a small bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and salt.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat butter, sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until creamy, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Fold in flour mixture gradually. Stir in chocolate morsels and nuts (if using).
- Drop onto ungreased light colored baking sheets by rounded tablespoon. Bake for 9 to 11 minutes or until a light golden brown color. Watch carefully as it is better to underbake slightly as the cookies will continue to bake once removed from the oven.
- Cool on baking sheets for 2 minutes. Remove to wire racks to cool completely.
Notes
- Adding nuts is optional and can be omitted or substituted according to preference.
- If nuts are omitted, increase flour by 1 to 2 tablespoons to balance the dough consistency.
- Watch cookies closely during baking to pull them out when they are lightly golden; slight underbaking helps maintain softness.
- Cool cookies on baking sheets briefly before moving to wire racks to finish cooling and set texture.
