Introduction
Chocolate chip cookies are a timeless classic, loved across generations. With a crisp edge, chewy center, and pockets of gooey chocolate, these cookies are the ultimate comfort food. Perfect for parties, cozy nights, or gifting, this recipe guarantees a batch that everyone will fall in love with.
Ingredients
Makes about 36 cookies
- 2 ¼ cups (280 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 cup (230 g) unsalted butter, softened
- ¾ cup (150 g) granulated sugar
- ¾ cup (165 g) packed brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 2 cups (340 g) semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup (100 g) chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
Step 1: Prep the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
Step 3: Cream Butter & Sugars
In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 2–3 minutes).
Step 4: Add Eggs & Vanilla
Beat in eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, until fully incorporated.
Step 5: Combine Wet & Dry
Gradually mix in the flour mixture until just combined. Do not overmix!
Step 6: Add Chocolate Chips
Fold in chocolate chips and nuts (if using) with a spatula.
Step 7: Shape Cookies
Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart.
Step 8: Bake
Bake for 9–11 minutes or until golden brown around the edges but still soft in the center.
Step 9: Cool & Enjoy
Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Enjoy warm or store in an airtight container for up to a week.
Methods & Tips for Perfection
- Chilling the dough for 30 minutes enhances flavor and prevents spreading.
- Use high-quality chocolate chips for a richer taste.
- Don’t overbake; cookies will continue to cook slightly after being removed from the oven.
- Customize with nuts, white chocolate, or caramel bits for variety.
History & Formation
Chocolate chip cookies were invented in the 1930s by Ruth Wakefield at the Toll House Inn in Massachusetts. Originally, she added chopped Nestlé chocolate to her butter cookie dough, creating an accidental classic. Over decades, chocolate chip cookies evolved into the universally adored treat we know today.
The dough’s formation—creaming butter and sugars, carefully mixing dry ingredients, and folding in chocolate—is critical to achieving the ideal texture: crispy on the edges, soft and chewy in the center.
Cookie Lovers’ Corner
Chocolate chip cookies have a devoted following around the globe. From kids sneaking bites straight from the tray to office parties where trays vanish in minutes, they are a true crowd-pleaser. The “lovers” of this cookie appreciate:
- Chewy, melty centers
- Golden edges
- A perfect balance of sweet and buttery
If you make this recipe, you might find yourself as much of a cookie lover as anyone else—perhaps even hiding a few for yourself!
Conclusion
These chocolate chip cookies are simple to make, irresistibly delicious, and guaranteed to disappear fast at any gathering. With the perfect blend of crisp, chewy, and chocolatey, they are more than just a cookie—they’re a moment of joy in every bite.
If you want, I can also create a giant, “party-sized” version of this recipe that makes over 100 cookies, perfect for large gatherings where one batch never seems enough.
