Classic Chocolate Chip Cookies
These Classic Chocolate Chip Cookies are soft, chewy and SO chocolatey. And they are not fussy to make at all, just easy, and delicious! This is a go-to recipe.
Servings 3 dozen 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.
