Ah, the classic chocolate chip cookie! Here’s a simple, reliable recipe you can make at home:
Ingredients (makes ~24 cookies)
- 1 cup (225 g) unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup (150 g) brown sugar
- 1/2 cup (100 g) granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups (280 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 cups (340 g) chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven
- 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix wet ingredients
- In a large bowl, cream the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth.
- Add eggs and vanilla, mix until combined.
- Mix dry ingredients
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Combine
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Fold in chocolate chips.
- Scoop and bake
- Use a spoon or cookie scoop to drop dough onto the baking sheet, about 2 inches apart.
- Bake 10–12 minutes, until edges are lightly golden (centers may look soft).
- Cool
- Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
🍪 Tip: For extra gooey cookies, slightly underbake them by 1 minute. For crispier cookies, bake a little longer.
If you want, I can also give a crock pot version of chocolate chip cookies—yes, it’s a thing! It’s super easy and almost “one-bowl.” Do you want me to do that?
