These Best Chocolate Chip Cookies are a classic favorite, with a perfect balance of chewy and crispy textures and loaded with rich chocolate chips.

Ingredients

Scale

Cookie Dough:

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips (or a mix of chips and chunks)

Optional:

  • ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy (about 2–3 minutes).
  3. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Use a spatula or wooden spoon to fold in chocolate chips and optional nuts until evenly distributed.
  6. Scoop the Dough: Scoop dough using a medium cookie scoop or tablespoon. Roll into balls and place 2 inches apart on the baking sheets.
  7. Bake: Bake for 9–11 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden and centers look slightly underbaked (they’ll firm up as they cool).
  8. Cool: Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 2–3 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
