- Cuisine: American
Ingredients
- 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter* (I use unsalted, but feel free to use salted if preferred)
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar
- 2 cups self-rising flour
- 12 oz package semi-sweet chocolate chips (I like using 1/2 regular and 1/2 mini size)
Instructions
- Using an electric hand mixer, cream butter in a large mixing bowl until smooth.
- Next, add in sugar and brown sugar and mix with electric mixer for about 1 minute, until creamy. Add egg and vanilla extract and mix for about 30 seconds until incorporated.
- Slowly add in flour 1/2 cup at a time and mix until just combined.
- Next, add in your chocolate chips and gently stir by hand until evenly incorporated. (I like using half regular size chocolate chips and half mini size to make them extra yummy!)
- Cover and place your chocolate chip cookie dough in the refrigerator to chill for a minimum of 1 hour or overnight is preferred.*
- Once dough has chilled, remove from the fridge, preheat oven to 375 degrees F, and use a small cookie scoop or hands to shape into balls.
- Line large cookie sheets with parchment paper and place cookie dough balls about 2 inches spaced apart on your cookie sheet.
- Place in a 375 degree preheated oven and bake for 8-11 minutes until the sides and bottom are a light golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely.
- Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
Notes
Butter – Make sure your butter is softened to room temperature but not overly soft or melted. I usually set mine out a couple hours before I want to make my cookies. I personally use unsalted butter for these cookies but you can use salted if you prefer.
How Long to Chill Dough – I recommend chilling your cookie dough for at least 1 hour in the refrigerator prior to baking. This helps ensure your cookies won’t spread out too thin and will help achieve a more soft, chewy texture. I personally like making my cookie dough the night before and refrigerating overnight, and you can even chill your dough up to 48 hours.
How to Store Cookies – Store leftover chocolate chip cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
How to Freeze Dough – Cookie dough can be frozen for up to 3 months. I recommend shaping into balls and placing in a freezer safe bag that way you can easily bake them from frozen. Bake as directed.
