The Best Chocolate Chip Cookies
Most Everyone has their favorite style of chocolate chip cookie. Mine is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside and that is exactly what this recipe will give you! You can bake immediately or you can freeze the dough in individual portions and pull them out, pop them on a tray and bake away!
Equipment
- 1 Mixing Bowl or Stand Mixer
- 2 Cookie Sheets
Ingredients
- 2 cup All-Purpose Flour
- 1 tsp Baking Soda
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 stick Butter
- 3/4 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Brown sugar
- 1.5 tsp Vanilla
- 2 Eggs
- 1 cup Semi-sweet Chocolate Chips (measure with your heart here)
Instructions
- Combine the flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix together and set aside.
- In your mixing bowl combine softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Cream together on medium speed for about 2 mins. (make sure the butter is softened before you do this)
- Add in the vanilla and eggs. Mix until fully incorporated.
- Add in the flour mixture, and mix on low until just barely incorporated
- Fold in your chocolate chips.
- Scoop out individual dough balls and place on a tray into the freezer for at least 25 mins. Once frozen you can place in a gallon sized freezer bag if you want to store for later. This is especially nice if you want to make a larger batch to have on hand.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Place onto a cookie tray and bake for 10-12 mins. It may be shorter or longer depending on your oven. I would give it a check around 10 mins. The cookies should be golden brown. Sometimes I leave them in there a little longer if I am feeling a bit more on the crispy side!
- Place on a cooling rack and enjoy!
Notes
- Dont skip freezing! It is what gives the cookies a crispy outside and chewy inside
- You may want to leave them in a few minutes longer depending on your oven.
- Dont Overmix!
- Make a double batch and freeze individual dough balls for cookies anytime you want!
