For the Batter

  • 1 cup Brown sugar Swap for coconut sugar for a less processed choice.
  • ½ cup Granulated sugar Reducing this will yield cookies that are less sweet but denser.

Step-by-Step Instructions for Perfect Classic Chocolate Chip Cookies
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare your baking sheets by lining them with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together 2 ¼ cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, and ½ teaspoon of fine sea salt.
  3. In a separate large bowl, cream together 1 cup of softened unsalted butter, 1 cup of brown sugar, and ½ cup of granulated sugar for 2-3 minutes until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in 2 large eggs, one at a time, then stir in 2 teaspoons of pure vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined.
  6. Gently fold in 2 cups of chocolate chips using a spatula.
  7. Drop rounded balls of dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake in the oven for 10-12 minutes.
  8. Remove cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
