Soft and chewy chocolate chip cookies with crispy edges, perfect for beginners and loved by all. A foolproof recipe that comes together in under 30 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (227 grams) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup (150 grams) brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup (100 grams) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups (280 grams) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups (340 grams) semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat 1 cup softened unsalted butter with 3/4 cup brown sugar and 1/2 cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add 2 large eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in 2 teaspoons vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Fold in 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips using a wooden spoon or silicone spatula.
  7. Cover the dough and chill it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  8. Scoop out the dough using a cookie scoop or tablespoon and place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the centers still look slightly underdone.
  10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

[‘Chilling the dough is essential for thicker, chewier cookies.’, ‘Use good-quality chocolate chips for better flavor.’, ‘For perfectly round cookies, shape them with a spoon immediately after baking.’]
