Chocolate Chip Cookies
Chocolate chip cookies are classic baked treats characterized by a chewy and crispy texture with absorbed melted chocolate chips throughout. The dough is mixed by creaming butter and sugar, then combined with flour and chips, before being baked until golden brown. The final cookies have a slightly cracked surface, gooey centers, and crisp edges.
Ingredients
Equipment
Method
- Place the softened butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar in a large mixing bowl. Use an electric mixer or whisk to beat until the mixture is light and fluffy, and the colors are pale.1 cup unsalted butter, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1 cup light brown sugar
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next. Mix in vanilla extract until evenly combined. The mixture should appear glossy and slightly thickened.2 large eggs, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add these dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed or folding in with a spatula, until just combined. The dough will be thick and slightly sticky.3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 0.5 teaspoon salt
- Fold in the chocolate chips evenly into the dough using a silicone spatula, ensuring distribution throughout the mixture.2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop heaping tablespoons of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are golden brown around the edges and the centers look set but still soft. Once done, remove from oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
