Description
Delicious chocolate chip cookies with a soft and chewy texture.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter (16 Tbsp), softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup light brown sugar, tightly packed
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour, measured correctly
- 1 tsp baking soda, sifted
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips (12 oz), divided (reserving 1/4 cup for the top)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350˚F. Line a baking sheet with parchment or Silpat liner.
- In a stand mixer with paddle attachment, combine butter, brown sugar, and white sugar. Beat for 5 minutes until creamy and light.
- Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Then add vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, combine flour, salt, and baking soda. Add the flour mixture to the creamed butter in thirds, mixing each time.
- Fold in chocolate chips.
- Use an ice cream scoop to form balls of dough (3 Tbsp each) and place them on the lined baking sheet about 2 inches apart.
- Roll balls lightly with hands and stud tops with reserved chocolate chips.
- Bake one cookie sheet at a time for 12-15 minutes until edges are golden but tops look under-baked.
- Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool.
Notes
- To measure flour correctly, fluff the flour with a spoon, then spoon it into a measuring cup and level the top.
- Do not dip the measuring cup directly into the flour bin.
