Chocolate Chip Cookies

This is my version of the best chocolate chip cookies! The cookies are crisp on the edges, have a chewy texture, and are packed with semisweet chocolate chips. This chocolate chip cookie recipe is incredibly easy to make and will quickly become a favorite.

Ingredients for Chocolate Chip Cookies

• Unsalted butter – Room temperature.
• Dark brown sugar – Dark brown sugar makes chewy chocolate chip cookies and provides that classic cookie flavor. Use light brown sugar as a substitute, if preferred.
• Granulated sugar
• Eggs – Large eggs, room temperature.
• Vanilla extract – Pure vanilla extract for the best vanilla flavor.
• All-purpose flour
• Baking soda
• Salt
• Semisweet chocolate chips – You could also use chocolate chunks or a chopped chocolate bar.

How to Make Chocolate Chip Cookies

1. Make the cookie dough: Cream the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and creamy. Add in the eggs and vanilla extract and mix until smooth. Add in the dry ingredients (all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt) and mix until the cookie dough forms. Stir in the chocolate chips.
2. Chill the cookie dough: Portion the cookie dough using a large cookie scoop (3 tablespoons) and place the cookie dough balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet pan. Chill the cookie dough for 30 minutes.
3. Prep: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line baking sheet pans with silicone baking mats or parchment paper.
4. Bake the cookies: Place the cookie dough balls on the prepared baking pan allowing room for spreading. Bake the cookies for 12 to 13 minutes until slightly golden brown on the edges. Allow the cookies to sit on the pan for two minutes and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
