Ingredients
  

For the Cookie Dough
  • 2 1/4 cups All-Purpose Flour Provides structure; ensure accurate measurement for best results.
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda Leavening agent that helps cookies rise; essential for that chewy texture.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt Enhances overall flavor; don’t skip it, as it balances sweetness.
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter (softened) Adds moisture and flavor; avoid melted butter to maintain texture.
  • 3/4 cup Packed Brown Sugar Contributes richness and chewiness; dark brown sugar can deepen the flavor.
  • 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar Sweetens the cookies; can substitute with light brown if needed.
  • 2 large Eggs Binds ingredients and adds moisture; incorporate one at a time for the best mixing.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Adds aroma and flavor; opt for pure vanilla for an authentic taste.
  • 1 1/2 cups Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips Provides the chocolate flavor and texture; feel free to mix chocolate types for variety.

Step-by-Step Instructions for Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Gather all your ingredients and equipment to set yourself up for success.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 1/4 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, cream together 1/2 cup of softened unsalted butter, 3/4 cup of packed brown sugar, and 1/2 cup of granulated sugar.
  4. Add in 2 large eggs, one at a time, and stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually fold the flour mixture into the wet ingredients using a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined.
  6. Gently fold in 1 1/2 cups of semi-sweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  7. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto ungreased baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are golden and the centers remain soft.
  9. Let cookies cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
