How to Make Best Chocolate Chip Cookies Ever

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter, ¾ cup granulated sugar, and ¾ cup packed brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 2 large eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. Gradually add 3 cups all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon baking soda, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Stir in 2 cups chocolate chips (or chunks!).
  6. Drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  7. Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft. (Start checking at 7 minutes).
  8. Let cookies cool on baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
