Discover how to make the best chocolate chip cookies ever with this easy-to-follow recipe. Perfectly crispy on the edges, chewy in the center, and loaded with semisweet chocolate chips, these cookies are a favorite for all occasions.
Ingredients
1 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Mix until smooth.
- Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the bowl. Beat until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop dough balls onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Leave about 2 inches between each cookie.
- Slightly flatten the dough balls with your hand or the back of a spoon.
- Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
