Free Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookie

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and baking soda. Set aside.

3. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.

4. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

5. Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the dough.

6. Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

7. Using a cookie scoop or a spoon, drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

8. Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are light golden brown. The centers may still look slightly underbaked, but they will continue to set as they cool.

9. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

10. Once cooled, store the Free Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. Enjoy them with a glass of cold milk or a hot cup of coffee for the ultimate indulgence!
