Chocolate Cookie Recipe
Soft, chewy, and loaded with melty chocolate chips, this homemade dessert is the ultimate sweet treat for any occasion.
Ingredients
- 2¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp fine sea salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ¾ cup packed light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
- In a large bowl or stand mixer, beat the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla until silky.
- Gradually add flour mixture to wet ingredients, beating until no streaks of flour remain.
- Fold in chocolate chips with a spatula for even distribution.
- Optional but recommended: Chill dough for 15-20 minutes.
- Drop dough balls on baking sheets and flatten slightly.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden but centers are slightly underdone.
Notes
Chilling the dough deepens flavor and controls spread. Always measure flour properly for best results.
