These classic chocolate chip cookies feature a perfect balance of crispy edges and chewy centers, delivering a bakery-style texture and rich flavor with simple pantry ingredients.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (227g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup (165g) light brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups (280g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups (340g) semi-sweet chocolate chips (mix of milk and bittersweet recommended)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  2. In a large bowl, beat 1 cup softened unsalted butter with 3/4 cup granulated sugar and 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Beat in 2 large eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated. Stir in 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Fold in 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly through the dough.
  7. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  8. Using a medium cookie scoop, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart.
  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden but centers still look soft.
  10. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Chilling the dough for at least 30 minutes is essential to prevent excessive spreading and enhance flavor. Use a mix of granulated and brown sugar for the perfect crispy-chewy texture. Avoid overmixing once flour is added to keep cookies tender. For a gluten-free option, substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free blend and bake a little longer if needed.
