How to Make Absolutely The Best Chocolate Chip Cookies
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) of unsalted butter and ¾ cup (1 ½ sticks) of shortening until light and fluffy.
- Add 1 cup packed light brown sugar and ¾ cup granulated sugar; cream until well combined.
- Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1 teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Stir in 2 cups of chocolate chips.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
- Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
