Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ¾ cup packed brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- Optional: 1 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans)
Instructions:
1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
3. Cream Butter and Sugars:
- In a large bowl, using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat the butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract together until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
4. Add Eggs:
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition until fully incorporated.
5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
- Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
6. Fold in Chocolate Chips:
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips (and nuts, if using) until evenly distributed.
7. Scoop the Dough:
- Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
8. Bake:
- Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers are still soft. They will continue to cook on the baking sheet after you remove them from the oven.
9. Cool:
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Tips for Chewy Cookies:
- Use brown sugar for a chewier texture; the molasses in brown sugar helps retain moisture.
- Don’t overbake! The cookies should look slightly underbaked when you take them out of the oven.
- Letting the dough chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes can enhance the flavor and texture.
