A reliable, easy-to-make chocolate chip cookie recipe that requires only one bowl and no chilling time. These cookies feature crisp edges and a slightly gooey center, perfect for busy weeknights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
  • 1 cup granulated white sugar
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar (light or dark)
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar on medium speed for 2-3 minutes until light and fluffy.
  3. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Scrape down the sides of the bowl. Add vanilla extract and mix until combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture on low speed, mixing only until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips with a spatula until evenly distributed.
  7. Scoop dough balls (about 2 tablespoons each) onto prepared baking sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until edges are golden brown but centers still look slightly underbaked.
  9. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Ensure butter and eggs are at room temperature for best results. Do not overmix the dough to avoid tough cookies. For chewy cookies, underbake slightly; for crispy cookies, bake for 12-13 minutes. Dough can be frozen for later use.
