How to make THE BEST chocolate chip cookies.
Ingredients
| 2 sticks | butter |
| 2 | eggs at room temperature |
| 2 tbsp | vanilla extract |
| 1 cup | white granulated sugar |
| 1 1/4 cups | packed brown sugar |
| 3 cups | all purpose flour |
| 1 tsp | baking soda |
| 1 tsp | salt |
| 2 cups | milk chocolate chips (you can use any chocolate chips, semi-sweet, peanut butter, white chocolate chips, whichever.) |
Mixing the Dough
Begin to melt your butter. Once your butter is melted, in a stand or hand mixer bowl, add your eggs and vanilla, and mix until completely combined. Once combined, add the sugars. You want this step to have a fluffy and whipped consistency. Not too thin, but not thick either.
Now add your dry ingredients. This is your flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix really well and make sure all of your ingredients are combined.

Add your chocolate chips in and fold the dough inwards towards the chocolate chips. Continue doing so until the dough is thoroughly incorporated.
Once that is mixed well, place your mixing bowl in the fridge for 30-ish minutes. This step allows the flavors to really set in the dough and makes it easier to shape. However, this step is optional, but it’s my preferred method.
Baking Instructions
When you get to this step, go ahead and preheat the oven to 350 and line your pan with parchment paper or tinfoil. Get your dough and create your preferred size cookie. I do a large dough ball and then barely squish it down. It will eventually flatten out during baking.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, and allow to completely cool. ENJOY!
Tips for the Best Cookies
Here are some tips!
- For an extra buttery flavor, melt your butter in a pan and allow it to brown. You want it bubbling, but also a caramel, golden color. This makes them browned butter chocolate chip cookies!
- Bake your cookies for 8 minutes EXACT! You’ll have the GOOEYEST cookies! The best! Let them cool completely, and these cookies will be soft and yummy for days! Letting the cookies cool completely still lets them cook with the heat inside!
Serving size: 12-24 cookies!
