Excellent Chocolate Chip Cookies
Ingredients:
– 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 1 cup packed light brown sugar
– 2 large eggs
– 1 teaspoon 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:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter with the granulated sugar and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix – this will ensure your cookies turn out wonderfully soft and chewy.
6. Gently fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
7. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. Remember, the cookies will continue to set as they cool, so don’t worry if they seem slightly underdone.
9. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Serve these Excellent Chocolate Chip Cookies with a tall glass of cold milk for the ultimate indulgent experience. Share them with loved ones or keep them all to yourself – we won’t judge!
