Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ¾ cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- Optional: ½ cup sprinkles (for added texture and color)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, beat the softened butter with granulated sugar and brown sugar until creamy and smooth.
- Add the vanilla extract and eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Optional: Roll each dough ball in sugar or sprinkles for an extra touch of sweetness and color.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers are still soft.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Make sure not to overbake the cookies, as they’ll continue to cook on the baking sheet once removed from the oven.
- For a chewier texture, underbake slightly and let them rest.
- You can substitute dark chocolate chips for semi-sweet for a richer flavor.
