Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies
These homemade chocolate chip cookies can easily become your favorite for holidays and cookie exchanges.
Ingredients
- 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
Instructions
-
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.
