Best Chocolate Chip Cookies
The best chocolate chip cookies are chewy in the middle, slightly crispy around the edges, with the right amount of chocolate in every bite. Simple and absolutely delicious!
Servings: 36 cookies
Ingredients
- 2 ¼ cups flour
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 1 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
- ½ cup white sugar
- 1 cup butter slightly softened
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups semi sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350℉, and line baking sheets with parchment paper
- In a medium mixing bowl, stir together flour, salt, cinnamon and baking soda, and set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream the butter, sugars and vanilla extract together until soft.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, beating after each egg is added, then gradually add the flour mixture, and mix until just blended.
- Stir in the chocolate chips, and refrigerate dough for 15 to 30 minutes. Drop tablespoon-sized balls onto prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between the dough balls.
- Press down slightly for more even baking, and bake at 350 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes (depending on your oven), or until edges are just slightly brown. Do not over bake
- Remove from oven, allow to cool slightly, then transfer to cool surface or baking rack to cool completely
Notes
Be careful not to over mix the dough.
Chill dough before baking. If your kitchen is cold, you can skip this step.
Bake on cold, un-greased cookie sheets. Parchment paper, foil or silicone baking mats work great!
Do not over bake the cookies. They should be light golden brown around the edges but still soft in the middle.
You can swirl a drinking glass around the warm cookies right after baking to make them even and round.
You can freeze some or all of the cookie dough for later and bake from frozen for about 12-15 minutes.
Decorate with extra chocolate chips, flake salt or seasonal candies during the holidays.
