Best Chocolate Chip Cookies

Chocolate chip cookies from scratch are my favorite dessert. Easy to make, they're slightly crispy around the edge, soft and chewy in the middle.

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Pre-heat the oven to 375° F.
  • Cream (or mix together) the softened butter, cane sugar, and brown sugar. 
  • Add the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing well.
  • In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  • Mix the dry ingredients into the creamed mixture.
  • Stir the chocolate chips in by hand, thoroughly mixing the chocolate chips into the cookie dough.
  • Optional Step: Cover and chill the cookie dough for about 2 hours. This helps make a very chewy cookie.
  • Using a cookie scoop, drop cookies onto a cookie sheet.
  • Bake at 375° F for 10-11 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly golden and done.
  • Remove the cookies from the cookie sheet, and let them cool on a wire rack.
  • Serve with a nice tall glass of ice cold milk.

Notes

Nuts are an optional add-in. We've used walnuts, but pecans would be delicious too.
