Follow this simple recipe to make the best homemade chocolate chip cookies. You get thick, bakery style results that are soft and chewy inside with slightly crisp edges, all without needing to chill the dough.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup packed light brown sugar
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. This takes about 2 to 3 minutes with a mixer.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips using a spatula.
  7. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. For thicker cookies, slightly mound the dough.
  8. Bake for 9 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers look slightly underbaked.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, substitute half of the butter with browned butter. Let the butter cool slightly before creaming it with the sugars.
  • If you prefer a crispier edge, bake for 1 minute longer.
  • For the best texture, use room temperature eggs.
