Best Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe

Ingredients

  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips

Instruction

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips (and nuts if using).
  7. Scoop tablespoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 9–11 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the centers are still soft.
  9. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
