Description
Indulge in the ultimate homemade treat with these perfectly chewy chocolate chip cookies. Featuring crisp golden edges and a soft, buttery center, these cookies rely on a higher ratio of brown sugar to white sugar for maximum moisture and a rich, toffee-like depth. This professional-grade recipe is easy to follow and delivers bakery-quality results every single time.
Ingredients
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs, room temperature
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Cream the softened butter and both sugars in a large mixing bowl until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Stir in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
Whisk the flour, baking soda, and salt together in a separate bowl.
Gradually combine the dry ingredients into the butter mixture using a low mixer speed.
Fold in the chocolate chips.
Chill the dough before baking to prevent spreading.
Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes until the edges are golden.
Notes
Ensure butter is softened but not melted to maintain the ideal texture. Chilling the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking is highly recommended to achieve the signature soft center and prevents excessive spreading. Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
