OMG Soft Batch Chocolate Chip Cookies
Soft, chewy, and packed with chocolatey goodness, these cookies are a classic treat that brings smiles to everyone.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 14 tablespoons unsalted butter softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup light brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2½ cups all-purpose flour (+ a few extra tablespoons if needed)
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt or sea salt
- 3 cups chocolate chips (any variation of chocolate chips or chunks)
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper or spray them with non-stick spray.
- Partially melt the butter: microwave it halfway or place it in a metal bowl in the preheating oven until half melted. Let it cool.
- Beat the cooled butter with the granulated sugar and light brown sugar until it becomes light and fluffy. Mix in the vanilla and eggs, one at a time.
- Add the flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix on low until everything is combined. If the dough is too wet, add flour 1 tablespoon at a time (do not exceed 3 extra tablespoons).
- Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Scoop the dough (1/4 cup for large cookies or 1.5 tablespoons for medium cookies) onto the baking sheets, leaving space for spreading. Press them slightly and add extra chocolate chips on top if desired.
Baking
- Bake one tray at a time: 10–12 minutes for large cookies or 8–9 minutes for small cookies.
- Cool them on a wire rack.
Notes
Store in an airtight container. This recipe makes 1 dozen large cookies or 2 dozen small cookies. To keep cookies fresh, store at room temperature in an airtight container for about a week. Freeze the dough or baked cookies for longer storage.
