Easy Chocolate Chip Cookies
Imagine sinking your teeth into warm, chewy homemade cookies that come together with simple ingredients in under an hour. These Easy Chocolate Chip Cookies strike the perfect chewy-crisp balance and are customizable to suit every cookie lover's dream.
Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp fine sea salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream the softened butter with granulated and brown sugar until fluffy.
- Beat in eggs, one at a time, then add vanilla extract.
- Gradually stir in the flour mix, then fold in chocolate chips (and nuts if using them).
- Use a cookie scoop to drop dough balls onto the sheets, space them apart, and bake until golden.
- Let cookies rest on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Chilling dough for 30 minutes before baking enhances flavor and yields thicker cookies. Adjust brown sugar for extra chewiness. Room-temperature eggs create a consistent mix.
