Description
Anna’s Chocolate Chip Cookies are soft, buttery, and packed with semisweet chocolate chips. This classic homemade cookie recipe comes together easily and bakes into golden cookies with crisp edges and deliciously soft centers.
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- ½ cup white sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream the softened butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until light and smooth.
- Beat in the vanilla extract and eggs, adding the eggs one at a time and mixing well after each addition.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture and mix until just combined.
- Fold in the semisweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each cookie.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are still slightly soft.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For softer cookies, avoid overbaking and remove them from the oven when the centers still look slightly underdone.
- Let the butter soften at room temperature for easier mixing.
- Store cooled cookies in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
