🍲 Ingredients
Butter- 2 sticks of softened butter. Or butter that has been slightly melted and cooled.
Flour – All-purpose flour is a kitchen pantry staple.
Baking soda – The leavening agent for the cookies.

Sugar- Brown sugar and granulated sugar.
Eggs -2 eggs
👩🍳How to Make Chocolate Chip Cookies
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
In a medium sized mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, and set aside.
In a stand mixer on medium speed, whip the butter, sugar, and brown sugar together until creamy, for about 2 minutes; don’t over mix or the butter will separate. Add the vanilla, and eggs until just combined, scraping the bowl as you go.
Gradually add in your dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
Fold in your chocolate chips.
On a parchment lined baking sheet, use an ice cream scoop to scoop your cookies onto the baking sheet.
Bake at 350 degrees for 13 minutes.
They might seem undercooked, but they will set up while cooling.
Leave the cookies on your baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire cooling rack.
Enjoy warm with a glass of milk!

Tips for maximum chewiness (but not required)
1. Use melted butter
Creates a denser, chewier cookie instead of cakey.
2. Brown sugar = chew
More brown sugar increases moisture; this recipe uses a 2:1 ratio of brown to white sugar.
3. Add an extra egg yolk
Extra fat means extra chew.
4. Slightly underbake
Cookies continue baking from residual heat.
5. Chill the dough
Prevents spreading and deepens flavor.
👝 How to Store Leftovers

When I was testing out my perfect chocolate chip cookie recipe, I wanted something that wouldn't require a lot of forethought. Because when I want a cookie, I want it right then and there, and these cookies take 30 minutes from start to finish and only use a few simple ingredients!
Ingredients
3 cups of flour
1 tsp baking soda
¾ tsp salt
1 cup softened butter (2 sticks)
2 large eggs
1 cup brown sugar
¾ cup granulated sugar
1 ½ cup chocolate chips
1 tsp vanilla extract
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
In a medium sized mixing bowl, whisk together your flour, salt, and baking soda and set aside.
In a stand mixer (or hand mixer) on medium speed, beat your butter and sugar together for 2 - 3 minutes until light and fluffy. Add your eggs and vanilla and mix until just combined. Scrape your bowl as you go.
Slowly add your dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
Fold in your chocolate chips.
Using an ice cream scoop, scoop the cookies onto the baking sheet spacing them one inch apart from each other. Bake at 350 degrees for 13 – 15 minutes. If they appear to be slightly undercooked, they are perfect.
Let rest on your baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire cooling rack.
