Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookies 

These cookies are the ideal balance of flavor and texture chewy, buttery, and rich with chocolate chips. They’re made with everyday ingredients, come together in minutes, and don’t require any chilling (unless you want extra depth of flavor). Whether enjoyed warm from the oven or stored for later, these cookies hold their soft texture and irresistible taste.

 Ingredients

• 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour

• 1 teaspoon baking soda

• ½ teaspoon salt

• 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened

• ¾ cup packed brown sugar

• ½ cup granulated sugar

• 2 large eggs

• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

• 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

 Directions

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

2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

3. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

4. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually mix in the dry ingredients until a soft dough forms.

6. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.

7. Shape Dough: Scoop dough by the tablespoon (or use a cookie scoop) and place onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie.

8. Bake: Bake for 9–11 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers still look slightly underbaked.

9. Cool: Let cool on the baking sheet for 2–3 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
