🍪 The Best Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe Ever
Golden edges, soft centers, and plenty of chocolate chips — these cookies are everything you crave in a homemade treat!
🛒 Ingredients:
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup light brown sugar, packed
2 large eggs
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
½ tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
🍪 Instructions:
1. Preheat Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Cream the Butter & Sugars:
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 2–3 minutes).
3. Add Eggs & Vanilla:
Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract.
4. Mix the Dry Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
5. Combine & Fold:
Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
6. Scoop & Bake:
Drop dough by rounded tablespoons (or use a cookie scoop) onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers are still soft.
7. Cool & Enjoy:
Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
🍫 Pro Tips:
Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking for thicker cookies.
Add a pinch of flaky sea salt on top before baking for that bakery-style finish.
Substitute 1 cup of chips for chunks, white chocolate, or peanut butter chips!
