Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe To Add To Your Baking Arsenal
Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies
These homemade chocolate chip cookies can easily become your favorite for holidays and cookie exchanges.
- 2¼ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ tsp baking soda
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter (room temperature – I add just a bit more about a tablespoon)
- ½ cup granulated sugar (I substituted with coconut sugar, low glycemic)
- 1 cup packed Demerara sugar (dark brown sugar)
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups semisweet and/or milk chocolate chips (2 cups is about 12 ounces)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a small bowl, whisk together the flour and baking soda; set aside.
In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the butter with both sugars. Beat on medium speed until light and fluffy.
Reduce speed to low. Add the salt, vanilla, and eggs. Beat until well mixed, about 1 minute.
Add flour mixture. Mix until just combined.
Stir in the chocolate chips.
Drop heaping tablespoon-size balls of dough about 2 inches apart on baking sheets lined with parchment paper.
Bake until cookies are golden around the edges, but still soft in the center, 8 to 10 minutes.
Remove from oven, and let cool on baking sheet for about 5 minutes.
Transfer to a wire rack, and let cool completely.
I haven’t made homemade cookies in a long time. I’ll have to try this recipe out.
Now that the summer heat has passed, I’m ready to spend some quality time with my oven. These cookies sound delightful.
Chocolate cookies are always an item around the Christmas season in many homes. Learning how to make them is quite another experience. Incidentally, it would be nice to h ave families working together to make these cookies guided by your instructions.. Thanks for sharing

Thank you for the recipe! I am not a good baker but I think this recipe is easy enough for me to try. I will make lots of batches of this and keep in stock in the house for any one to enjoy.
I don’t think there’s a better cookie out there than the classic chocolate chip. Christmas is coming up and I think I will keep it classic this year with this recipe!
You just made my mouth water a little bit. And that’s not good considering it’s only 9:30 in the morning!

Brigid,
I am so excited to share with you my experience of baking these cookies!
I am avid baker, yet I have not had Chocolate Chip Cookies that I really would adore and make regularly.
This one is a WINNER!
I TRULY celebrate its soft texture. My boys loved it!
Also, this dough can be used for other flavors like Macadamia nuts and even raisins and cranberries. I am going to give it try this week.
