Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups plus 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter, softened (salted or unsalted is fine)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup dark brown sugar, packed
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
Add-ins
- 2 cups Nestle Semi Sweet Chocolate Chips (other chocolate chips can be used)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure it reaches the optimal temperature for baking the cookies evenly.
- Mix Butter, Sugars, and Vanilla: In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat together the softened butter, granulated sugar, dark brown sugar, and vanilla extract until well combined and creamy.
- Add Eggs: Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition to fully incorporate them into the mixture.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: Add half of the all-purpose flour, all of the baking soda, and salt to the wet mixture. Mix by hand gently to combine, ensuring the flour does not over-develop gluten.
- Add Remaining Flour and Chocolate Chips: Add the remaining flour and the chocolate chips. Stir by hand until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Chill Dough: For best results, cover and chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least one hour but no longer than 24 hours to enhance flavor and texture.
- Scoop and Bake: Preheat the oven again to 375 degrees F if needed. Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto ungreased baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
- Bake Cookies: Bake the cookies for 8 to 10 minutes or until the edges start to turn golden brown.
- Cool Cookies: Remove cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 2 minutes. Then transfer them using a spatula onto wire racks to cool completely.
- Store: Once cooled, store cookies tightly covered to maintain freshness.
Notes
- Chilling the dough enhances flavor and controls spreading.
- Use room temperature butter for easier mixing and better texture.
- You can substitute chocolate chip varieties like milk chocolate or white chocolate chips.
- For softer cookies, slightly underbake and allow to cool on the baking sheet.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
