Print Recipe

A reliable, single-bowl chocolate chip cookie recipe that delivers chewy centers and crisp edges without the mess. Perfect for busy weeknights and beginners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
  • 1/2 cup granulated white sugar
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar (light or dark)
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups chocolate chips (semi-sweet or dark)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together for 2-3 minutes until pale and creamy.
  3. Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and mix until smooth and glossy, scraping down the sides of the bowl.
  4. Add the flour, baking soda, and salt directly to the wet ingredients and mix on low speed or by hand until just combined.
  5. Fold in the chocolate chips gently with a spatula until evenly distributed.
  6. Scoop dough mounds (about 2 tablespoons each) onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart.
  7. Bake for 9-11 minutes until edges are golden brown but centers still look slightly soft.
  8. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Ensure butter is softened, not melted, to prevent flat cookies. Spoon and level flour to avoid dense texture. For chewier cookies, use more brown sugar and slightly underbake. Dough can be chilled for 30 minutes to prevent spreading or frozen for later use.
