Ingredients
Scale
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ¾ cup packed brown sugar
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- ½ cup red and green holiday sprinkles
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Cream Together the Sugars and Butter: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then add the vanilla extract and mix until well combined.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips and Sprinkles: Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and red and green holiday sprinkles.
- Scoop the Dough: Drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
- Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Ensure the butter is softened but not melted for the best texture.
- The cookies may look slightly underbaked in the center when you take them out; they will continue to cook on the baking sheet.
