Here’s a classic Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe — soft in the center, lightly crisp on the edges, and always a favorite 🍪🍫
Chocolate Chip Cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ¾ cup brown sugar, packed

- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2¼ cups all-purpose flour

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Cream butter & sugars

- Add eggs & vanilla
- Beat in eggs one at a time, then mix in vanilla.
- Mix dry ingredients
- In a separate bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Combine
- Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients.
- Fold in chocolate chips.
- Bake
- Scoop dough (about 2 tablespoons per cookie) onto baking sheets.
- Bake 10–12 minutes, until edges are lightly golden and centers look slightly soft.

Tips for Perfect Cookies
- Chill dough 30 minutes for thicker cookies
- Use brown sugar for chewiness
- Slightly underbake for soft centers
Variations
- Add chopped nuts or white chocolate chips
- Sprinkle flaky sea salt on top before baking
- Make them extra thick by rolling dough into balls
If you want, I can also give you a bakery-style thick cookie, chewy-only version, or small-batch recipe.
