Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
  • In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This usually takes about 3-4 minutes with an electric mixer on medium speed.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed or folding in with a spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep your cookies tender.
  • Fold in the dark chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough.
  • Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spaced about 2 inches apart.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden but the centers still look slightly soft. The cookies will firm up as they cool.
  • Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Use room temperature ingredients for a smooth, evenly mixed dough.
  • Don’t overmix once flour is added to keep cookies tender and chewy.
  • Chill dough for 30 minutes to enhance flavor and prevent spreading.
  • Customize by adding nuts, dried fruit, or spices for unique variations.
  • Store baked cookies in an airtight container up to 5 days or freeze dough for longer storage.
