Chocolate Chip Cookies
Everyone needs a classic Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe in their repertoire, and this is mine. It is seriously the Best Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe Ever! I have been making these for many, many years and everyone who tries them agrees they’re out-of-this-world delicious!
These are everything a chocolate chip cookie should be. Crispy and chewy. Doughy yet fully baked. Perfectly buttery and sweet.
Ingredients :
❤1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
❤1 cup granulated sugar
❤1 cup brown sugar
❤2 large eggs
❤2 teaspoons vanilla extract
❤3 cups all-purpose flour
❤1 teaspoon baking soda
❤1/2 teaspoon salt
❤2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
Method :
💖When doing this, make sure to Measure the flour correctly. Be sure to use a measuring cup made for dry ingredients. Then, measure flour by scooping it into a measuring cup and leveling it with a knife.
💖Next, cream together butter and sugars, make sure to soften the butter early by taking it out of the fridge at least two hours before baking so it’s ready to go when you need it.
💖You can also warm it in the microwave for about 7 seconds, but be very careful not to melt it. Once the butter/sugar mixture is beaten well, add the eggs & vanilla and beat to combine.
💖Add dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Then add the chocolate chips and beat until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
💖Use LOTS of chocolate chips. You want at least two gooey chocolate chips in every bite.
Portion & roll dough :
💖Once the cookie dough is finished, it’s time to portion and roll the dough. know many people eyeball it when making cookies, however, I highly recommend using a cookie scoop.
💖Using a cooking scoop ensures that all the cookies are uniform in size so that they bake evenly. I love this stainless steel cookie scoop and use it every time I make cookies.
💖At this point, you can either bake your dough or freeze it.
💖Bake from frozen: Place the dough on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Then, preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (ONLY if you are baking the frozen dough) and put the cookies in the oven at the beginning of the preheating time.
💖 Bake until they just barely look done. If you are baking the cookies immediately simply roll them into balls, place them evenly apart on a baking sheet (about 1.5 to 2 inches apart), and bake at 375 degrees for 8-10 minutes.
