There’s nothing quite as comforting as the smell of fresh, home-baked cookies wafting through the house. Today, I am going to share with you my recipe for heavenly chocolate chip cookies. What makes these extra special is that they’re crispy on the outside, gooey on the inside, and loaded with silky, melting chocolate chips.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups chocolate chips
- 1 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Mix together the softened butter, white sugar, and brown sugar until it’s smooth.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
- Combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl. Gradually add this dry mix to the wet ingredients. Stir everything until it’s just incorporated.
- Fold in the chocolate chips (and walnuts, if using).
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto ungreased baking sheets.
- Bake for about 10 minutes, or until the edges are beautifully browned.
- Let cool on wire racks before serving.
Tips:
- Chill your dough in the fridge for at least an hour before baking. This keeps the cookies from spreading too much.
- Use a mix of semi-sweet and milk chocolate chips for a delicious balance of flavors.
- If you’re a fan of nuts, walnuts and pecans both add a nice crunch!
Get ready for a cookie that’s crispy yet soft, sweet yet slightly salty, and absolutely packed with delicious chocolate chips. This foolproof recipe will quickly become a family favorite – a delightful comfort food that’s perfect with a glass of milk or a cup of coffee.
