Classic Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe Tips:
- CHOCOLATE: You can use milk chocolate, semi-sweet chocolate, dark chocolate chips or even chocolate chunks. Use a sharp knife to chop about 1/2 cup and leave 1 cup whole.
- BAKING TIME: Bake the cookies on the lower side of time if you want them more chewy. If you like them more crunchy bake them longer.
- STORAGE: Keep these cookies in an airtight container or plastic bag so they stay soft.
- DOUBLE IT! This recipe is easily doubled. Freeze half a batch of cookies for later.
- FREEZING: These cookies freeze well. Store in an airtight container or ziplock bag and keep in the freezer for up to 3 months.
- ENJOY! Enjoy these soft chocolate chip cookies with a glass of milk!
Classic Chocolate Chip Cookies
Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups all purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup butter at room temperature
- 1 1/4 cups lightly packed brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips split into 1 cup and 1/2 cup
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
- Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- Chop 1/2 cup of the chocolate chips. Leave 1 cup whole. Set aside.
- In a bowl whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, baking soda and salt.
- Using a stand mixer beat the butter and sugar at high speed until creamy, about 1 min (just use the paddle attachment).
- Then beat in the egg and vanilla.
- Gradually add the flour mixture into butter mixture, and stir until just combined.
- Mix in the chocolate.
- Use about 2 tbsp of chocolate chip cookie dough for each cookie (if you have one use a medium cookie scoop), and place on the prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Don’t press them down as they will spread as they bake.
- Bake until the cookies are golden brown around the edges, about 8 to 10 min.
- Cool on a wire rack.
