Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips

Instructions

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Ensure butter is softened to room temperature.

Make Cookie Dough

  • Cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar in a large bowl using a hand or stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract until well combined.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt to evenly distribute.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed or folding with a spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  • Gently fold in the dark chocolate chips until evenly incorporated.

Bake Cookies

  • Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart.
  • Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until edges are golden but centers look slightly soft.
  • Allow cookies to cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Hand Mixer

  • Parchment Paper
  • Wire Rack
  • Measuring Cups
  • Measuring Spoons
  • Spatula

Notes

  • Use room temperature butter and cream it well with sugars for the best texture.
  • Chill dough for 30 minutes before baking to prevent spreading and create thicker cookies.
  • Use dark chocolate chips with at least 60% cocoa for richer flavor.
  • Underbake slightly for softer, chewier cookies.
  • Rotate baking sheets halfway through baking for even cooking.
