Chocolate Chip Cookies

The classic chocolate chip cookie is hard to beat. Soft, chewy and moist, this perfect-for-dunking cookie will not be around your kitchen long after it comes out of the oven. So you better make a ton!


Ingredients:

1- 1/4 cups granulated sugar
1- 1/4 cups packed brown sugar
1- 1/2 cups butter, softened
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
3 eggs, at room temperature
4- 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 cups semisweet chocolate chips

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.

2. In a large mixing bowl using an electric mixer, beat granulated sugar, brown sugar and butter until light and fluffy (about 3 minutes). Beat in vanilla and eggs until well blended. Beat in flour, baking soda and salt. Stir in chocolate chips.

3. On a parchment paper-lined baking sheet, drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls two inches apart. (I used a small ice cream scoop that was about 1- 1/2 tablespoons.)

4. Bake for 10-12 minutes (depending on size) or until cookies are light golden brown. The cookies will still be slightly soft in the middle, but will set once removed from the oven. (The softer the cookie in the oven, the softer it will be when it sets.)

5. Remove from oven and cool for 1 minute before removing from cookie sheets onto cooling racks. Enjoy these delicious cookies fresh from the oven or cooled!
