Soft and Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies are classic, bakery-style cookies with crisp edges, tender centers, and pockets of melty chocolate chips — a timeless favorite for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, beat butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until creamy.
  4. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each. Stir in vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  6. Fold in chocolate chips.
  7. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 8–10 minutes, or until edges are golden but centers are still soft.
  9. Let cookies rest on the baking sheet for 2 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Chill dough for 30 minutes before baking for thicker cookies.
  • Use a mix of chocolate chips and chunks for more texture.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
