Chocolate Chip Butter Cookies Recipe

My #1 BEST Chocolate Chip Butter Cookie recipe for years! These melt-in-your-mouth cookies are so addictive, they practically disappeared before the main course at a recent luncheon! Guests were sneaking handfuls – the ultimate compliment! This recipe uses a whopping 4 sticks of butter (or a blend of butter and margarine – your choice!), creating incredibly rich and buttery flavor. Don't substitute – trust me on this one! It halves easily if you need a smaller batch. Get ready for rave reviews!

How to Make Chocolate Chip Butter Cookies

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy. This is key for a tender cookie!
  3. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix!
  6. Stir in the chocolate chips.
  7. Drop by rounded tablespoons onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.
  8. Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
