Baking classic, chewy chocolate chip cookies comes down to five simple steps: mixing your wet and dry ingredients, combining them with chocolate chips, portioning the dough, baking at \(350^{\circ }\text{F}\) for 10–12 minutes, and letting them cool.Ingredients\(1 \text{ cup}\) (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened\(\frac{3}{4} \text{ cup}\) packed light-brown sugar\(\frac{3}{4} \text{ cup}\) granulated (white) sugar2 large eggs, room temperature\(2 \text{ teaspoons}\) pure vanilla extract\(2\frac{1}{4} \text{ cups}\) all-purpose flour\(1 \text{ teaspoon}\) baking soda\(\frac{1}{2} \text{ teaspoon}\) salt\(2 \text{ cups}\) semi-sweet chocolate chipsInstructionsMix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until smooth and fluffy (about 2 minutes). Beat in the eggs and vanilla extract until fully combined.Add Dry Ingredients: In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined—be careful not to overmix.Fold the Chocolate: Stir in the chocolate chips by hand.Chill (Optional but Recommended): Cover the dough and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1–2 hours. This prevents the cookies from overspreading and makes them thicker and chewier.Bake: Preheat your oven to \(350^{\circ }\text{F}\) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop 2-tablespoon-sized balls of dough and place them about 2 inches apart. Bake on the center rack for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the centers still look slightly soft.Cool: Remove from the oven and let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, as they will continue to bake and set. Transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
