Classic Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- Optional: 1 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans)
Instructions:
1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Cream the Butter and Sugars:
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
3. Add Eggs:
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
4. Combine Dry Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
5. Mix Dry and Wet Ingredients:
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
6. Add Chocolate Chips:
- Fold in the chocolate chips and nuts (if using) until evenly distributed.
7. Scoop the Cookies:
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto ungreased baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
8. Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. The centers may look slightly underbaked, but they’ll continue to cook as they cool.
9. Cool:
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
