COOKIES WITH CHOCOLATE CHIPS

Here’s a classic and failproof Chocolate Chip Cookies recipe — crisp at the edges, soft in the middle, and packed with gooey chocolate chips.

🍪 Classic Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ingredients:

• 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened

• 3/4 cup granulated sugar

• 3/4 cup brown sugar (packed)

• 2 large eggs

• 2 tsp vanilla extract

• 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

• 1 tsp baking soda

• 1/2 tsp salt

• 2 cups semisweet or milk chocolate chips

• Optional: 1/2 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans)

Instructions:

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

2. Cream butter & sugars
   In a large bowl, beat softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 2–3 minutes).

3. Add eggs & vanilla
   Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract.

4. Mix dry ingredients
   In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.

5. Fold in chocolate chips (and nuts, if using).

6. Scoop & bake
   Drop dough by rounded tablespoons (or use a cookie scoop) onto prepared baking sheets, spacing 2 inches apart.
   Bake for 9–11 minutes or until edges are golden and centers are still soft.

7. Cool
   Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

✅ Tips for Best Cookies:

• Chill dough for 30–60 minutes for thicker cookies.

• Use a mix of chocolate chips and chunks for gooey pockets.

• Sprinkle a bit of sea salt on top before baking for a gourmet touch.
