Why Chocolate Chip Cookies?

Chocolate chip cookies: the embrace of warmth from the bakery. Well, sweet, warm, and full of chocolatey goodness. And a doddle to make! Who doesn't love the smell of cookies baking in the oven? It is a scent that makes any nasty day turn around.

What You'll Need

To make a batch of these tasty treats, you'll need the following ingredients:

1 cup unsalted butter, softened

3/4 cup granulated sugar

3/4 cup packed brown sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 large eggs

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat Your Oven

First of all, you need to preheat that oven of yours to 375°F (190°C). It's almost like waking up the oven from its sleep softly - it is about to rise and party with your cookie dough!

2. Mix the Wet Ingredients

Cream together softened butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. It's like frosting. So it should be pretty smooth and creamy.

Now, in the same saucepan, beat in eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Don't be afraid to get in there and mix it up!

3. Dry Ingredients

In another bowl, whisk your flour, baking soda, and salt. This is your base. It's going to make all that stuff rise up and fluff out.

4. Putting it All Together

 Pour dry mix into your wet mix slowly and stir until just combined. Now, fold in those chocolate chips! You're going to want to spread that chocolate love even throughout that dough.

5. Scoop and Bake

Scoop tablespoonfuls of dough onto ungreased baking sheets. Do not overcrowd-they will spread out like they are on a dance floor.

Bake for about 9 to 11 minutes or until edges are lightly golden. Centers will be soft. That's o.k. They will firm up when cool.

6. Cool It Down

Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes or so, then transfer them to a wire rack. It is when they have cooled for this short time that they will have set and begun to assume that fantastic chewy texture.

Reward Yourself

Let them cool and enjoy or pack them up for friends and family to savor warm from the oven. Sharing is caring, after all!
