METHOD

Why It Works

Simple dough and quick baking.

Quick Fixes

Spreading too thin: Chill the dough 30 minutes before baking. Also check that butter wasn't too warm when creaming.

Too cakey: Use melted butter instead of softened for chewier cookies, and don't overmix after adding flour.

Ingredients

2 1/4 cups flour

1 cup softened butter

¾ cup granulated sugar

2 eggs

2 cups chocolate chips

¾ cup packed brown sugar

½ tsp salt

1 tsp baking soda

1 tsp pure vanilla extract

How to Make It

1

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

2

In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2–3 minutes.

3

Add the eggs and vanilla extract and beat until combined. 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 chocolate chips.

4

Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart.

5

Bake for 9–11 minutes until the edges are set and lightly golden but the centers still look slightly underdone. Cool on the pan for 5 minutes — they firm up as they cool.

Want richer flavor? Brown the butter first (same amount) — it adds a nutty, toffee depth.
