Estimated time required for preparation

· Preparation time: 15 minutes

· Cooking time: 10-12 minutes

· Total time: 25-27 minutes

· Yields: 24 cookies 

Ingredients:

· 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened

· 1 cup granulated sugar

· 1 cup packed brown sugar

· 2 large eggs

· 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

· 3 cups all-purpose flour

· 1 teaspoon baking soda

· 1/2 teaspoon salt

· 2 cups chocolate chips

Instructions:

Step 1:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat and set it aside.

Step 2: 

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.

Step 3:

Beat in the eggs, one at a time, and then add the vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.

Step 4:

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 5:

Gently add in the chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 6:

Using a cookie scoop or a spoon, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. You can lightly press down on each cookie dough ball to slightly flatten it.

Step 7:

Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. The centers may appear slightly undercooked, but they will firm up as the cookies cool.

Step 7:

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheet for about 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 8:

Enjoy these delicious chocolate chip cookies with a glass of milk, or store them in an airtight container for later indulgence.

These classic chocolate chip cookies are simple to make and are always a hit with both kids and adults. Feel free to customize them by adding nuts or substituting different types of chocolate chips for a unique twist. Happy baking!
