How to Make Sour Cream Chocolate Chip Cookies

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, ½ cup granulated sugar, and ¾ cup packed brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 2 large eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Stir in 1 cup sour cream and 2 cups chocolate chips.
  7. Drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto ungreased baking sheets.
  8. Bake for 8-10 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.
  10. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
