Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ¾ cup packed brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup chocolate chips or your favorite mix-ins (nuts, dried fruit, etc.)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream together butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in eggs, one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract.
- Gradually mix in the dry ingredients until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
- Fold in chocolate chips or other mix-ins.
- Scoop dough into 2-inch balls and place 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheets.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are golden. Centers will appear soft but will firm as they cool.
- Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
- Chill the Dough for Better Results: Chilling the dough for 20-30 minutes before baking helps prevent the cookies from spreading too much and enhances their flavor and texture. This step is especially important if your kitchen is warm.
- Measure Flour Accurately: Overpacking flour can make cookies dense and dry. Use the spoon-and-level method: spoon the flour into the measuring cup, then level it off with a flat edge for accuracy.
- Don’t Overbake: The cookies may look slightly underbaked in the center when you take them out, but they will firm up as they cool. Overbaking can lead to cookies that are too crispy or dry.
