Discover the ultimate cookie recipes that are soft, chewy, and irresistible! Perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth in just 20 minutes.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups chocolate chips or your favorite mix-ins (nuts, dried fruit, etc.)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips or your choice of mix-ins.
- Drop tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underbaked; this is okay as they will continue to cook on the baking sheet.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For softer cookies, do not overbake them. They should look slightly underdone when you take them out of the oven.
- You can substitute half of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour for a healthier option.
- Feel free to experiment with different mix-ins like white chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, or dried cranberries.
