Ingredients
Scale
Chocolate Chips:
- 2 cups Nestle Semi Sweet Chocolate Chips
Main Dry Ingredients:
- 2 cups plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients and Sugars:
- 1/2 cup (113 grams) butter, softened
- 1/2 cup (100 grams) granulated sugar
- 1 cup (220 grams) dark brown sugar, packed
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C), ensuring the temperature is consistent for optimal baking results.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together softened butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract using an electric mixer until the mixture becomes light and fluffy.
- Incorporate eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition to create a smooth, well-blended batter.
- Gradually add half the flour, baking soda, and salt to the wet ingredients, stirring gently to combine without creating flour dust.
- Fold in remaining flour and chocolate chips, mixing until ingredients are evenly distributed and the dough reaches a thick, slightly sticky consistency.
- Refrigerate the dough for 1-24 hours to enhance flavor development and prevent excessive spreading during baking.
- Remove chilled dough and drop rounded tablespoons onto an ungreased baking sheet, spacing each scoop approximately 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, watching carefully until edges turn golden brown but centers remain soft.
- Allow cookies to rest on the baking sheet for 2-3 minutes to help them set and become more stable.
- Transfer cookies to a wire cooling rack using a spatula, enabling complete cooling and optimal texture development.
- Store completely cooled cookies in an airtight container to maintain freshness and soft texture.
Notes
- Adjust butter temperature by letting it sit at room temperature for 30-45 minutes, ensuring perfect creamy consistency without melting completely.
- Swap all-purpose flour with gluten-free blend for celiac or gluten-sensitive individuals, maintaining similar texture and taste.
- Control cookie spread by chilling dough longer or using parchment paper, preventing excessive flattening during baking.
