Here’s a classic, easy chocolate chip cookie recipe that gives soft, chewy cookies with a golden edge. 🍪
Ingredients (Makes ~24 cookies)
- 1 cup (226 g) unsalted butter, softened
- ¾ cup (150 g) granulated sugar
- ¾ cup (165 g) brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 ¼ cups (280 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 cups (340 g) chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 190°C / 375°F.
- Cream butter and sugars
In a large bowl, beat the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. - Add eggs and vanilla
Beat in eggs one at a time, then mix in vanilla extract. - Mix dry ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually mix into the butter mixture. - Add chocolate chips
Stir until evenly distributed. - Scoop onto baking sheet
Drop spoonfuls (about 1–2 tablespoons each) onto an ungreased baking sheet, spacing about 2 inches apart. - Bake
9–11 minutes, until edges are golden but centers are still soft. - Cool
Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
✅ Tips for perfect cookies
- For chewier cookies, use more brown sugar than granulated sugar.
- Don’t overbake—centers will firm up as cookies cool.
- Add a pinch of sea salt on top before baking for extra flavor.
