The Best Chocolate Chip Cookie Ever-Alice's Recipe
Description
This chocolate chip cookie recipe starts by creaming salted butter with granulated and brown sugars until very fluffy, which creates a light, creamy base. Eggs and vanilla are incorporated next, followed by a mix of leavening agents—baking soda and baking powder—to produce a balanced rise and tender crumb. The all-purpose flour is stirred in fully, then semi-sweet chocolate chips are folded into the thick dough.
Portions of about two tablespoons are dropped or scooped onto parchment-lined baking sheets and baked at 350°F for 12 to 14 minutes. The cookies develop golden brown edges while maintaining softness inside. Letting them cool on the baking sheet briefly after removing from the oven helps them finish setting without becoming hard.
This recipe focuses on texture and flavor balance, ensuring chocolate chips are evenly distributed and that baking time is watched carefully for ideal doneness. The final cookies have a creamy, rich interior with edges that provide slight crispness.
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter at room temperature, salted
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 egg large
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon salt sea salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups chocolate chips semi-sweet
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Cream butter, sugar, and brown sugar until it is nice and fluffy (approx. 5 minutes on medium speed on a KitchenAid Mixer.) Make sure the mixture gets VERY creamy.
- Add the eggs and vanilla and beat for an additional 2 minutes. Add salt, baking soda, baking powder, and flour until cookie batter is fully incorporated. Finally add chocolate chips until well distributed. The cookie batter should be somewhat thick. Drop about 2 tablespoons of dough or use a medium cookie scoop and plop the batter onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake for 12-14 minutes until the edges are nice and golden brown. We baked ours for 14 minutes, just watch them. Remove from heat and allow the cookies to stay on the cookie sheet for an additional 2 minutes. Pick up the parchment paper with the cookies still on top and transfer to a cool non-porous surface. Allow the cookies to cool on the paper for at least 3 minutes before serving. It was hard to wait 3 minutes, but we listened to Alice:)
