Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened For a richer flavor, use European butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed The darker, the better!
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips Or substitute with dark chocolate for a richer taste

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until fluffy and light.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
  7. Drop spoonfuls of dough onto ungreased baking sheets, leaving space between each cookie.
Baking
  1. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are golden brown.
  2. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few moments before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For variations, consider adding nuts or using different types of chocolate. Store cookies in an airtight container for up to a week or freeze for longer storage.
