Method
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 1/4 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tsp of baking soda, and 1 tsp of salt. Set this dry mixture aside.
- In another bowl, cream together 1 cup of unsalted butter, 3/4 cup of white sugar, and 3/4 cup of brown sugar until light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes using an electric mixer.
- Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, followed by 1 tsp of vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Stir in 2 cups of semisweet chocolate chips or your chosen mix-ins.
- Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 9-11 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy your festive treats!
Notes
Chef's Tips:
• For softer cookies, slightly underbake them and let them cool on the baking sheet longer.
• Avoid overmixing the dough to prevent tough cookies.
• Serve with a glass of milk or hot cocoa for a classic holiday treat.
Food Safety:
• Ensure eggs are fresh and properly stored to avoid foodborne illness.
• Store cookies in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
