Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 large eggs
Sweeteners:
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
Baking and Flavoring Ingredients:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F) and prepare baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats for optimal non-stick surface.
- Blend softened butter with granulated and brown sugars in a large mixing bowl until the mixture becomes creamy and aerated.
- Incorporate eggs individually into the butter-sugar mixture, ensuring each is fully integrated before adding the next. Infuse vanilla extract for enhanced flavor profile.
- In a separate bowl, sift together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt to eliminate potential lumps and ensure even distribution of dry ingredients.
- Gently fold dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring minimally to prevent overworking the dough, which can result in tough cookies.
- Fold chocolate chips throughout the dough, distributing them evenly for consistent flavor in each bite.
- Use a cookie scoop or spoon to portion dough into uniform rounds, positioning them approximately 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheets.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges turn golden brown while maintaining soft, slightly underbaked centers for a chewy texture.
- Allow cookies to rest on baking sheets for 5 minutes to set structure, then transfer to wire cooling racks to complete cooling process.
Notes
- Use room temperature butter for the smoothest, most evenly mixed cookie dough that creams perfectly with sugar.
- Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking to prevent excessive spreading and create thicker, chewier cookies.
- Experiment with different chocolate chip varieties like dark, milk, or even white chocolate to customize the flavor profile.
- For gluten-free options, swap regular flour with a 1:1 gluten-free baking blend to maintain the same tender texture.
