Worlds Best Cookie

The quest for the perfect cookie has ended! These chewy, chocolate-studded treats are the epitome of comfort food, boasting a delicate balance of crunch and softness in every bite. With a hint of vanilla and a generous helping of semi-sweet chocolate chips, this classic recipe is sure to become a staple in your household.

Ingredients

• 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
• 3/4 cup white granulated sugar
• 3/4 cup brown sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.

Set aside.

In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.

Gradually mix in the dry ingredients (flour mixture) until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

Stir in the chocolate chips.

Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.

Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden brown.

Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Let the cookies cool completely before serving.

Notes

Make sure to use room temperature butter for a lighter and fluffier texture.

Don’t overmix the dough, as this can lead to tough cookies.

Use high-quality chocolate chips for the best flavor.

If you want a chewier cookie, bake for 9-10 minutes.

For a crisper cookie, bake for 12-13 minutes.

To freeze, place cooled cookies in an airtight container and store for up to 3 months.

Let thaw at room temperature before serving.
