Gabrielle Knopp
These classic chocolate chip cookies are perfectly soft and chewy with crispy edges. They’re easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser!
Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups chocolate chips
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
-
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
-
Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract.
-
Gradually blend in the flour mixture until just combined.
-
Fold in chocolate chips.
-
Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto ungreased cookie sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
-
Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until golden brown around the edges.
-
Cool on baking sheet for 2 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
- For extra chewy cookies, slightly underbake them and let them finish cooking on the hot pan.
- You can freeze the dough for up to 3 months - just bake from frozen, adding 1-2 extra minutes.
- Makes about 48 cookies.
Enjoy with a cold glass of milk!
