Save this so you have the full recipe ready for weekend baking. Classic chocolate chip cookies, hubby approved. Team milk chocolate or semi-sweet?

Ingredients

  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips (milk chocolate or semi-sweet)

Steps

  1. Whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt in a bowl. Set aside.
  2. In a separate large bowl, combine the softened butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and eggs. Cream together with a hand mixer until smooth.
  3. Gradually add the flour mixture into the wet ingredients and mix until just incorporated. Fold in the chocolate chips.
  4. Scoop dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake at 350° for 10 to 12 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden.

Linewife notes

  • Don’t overmix: Stop when the flour is just incorporated so the cookies stay soft.
  • Pull them at golden edges: 10 to 12 minutes is plenty. They finish on the pan.
  • Your chips, your call: Milk chocolate or semi-sweet both work. Hubby approved either way.
