Introduction

I have a confession to make: I am a self-proclaimed cookie monster. There is nothing that brings me more joy than sinking my teeth into a freshly baked, warm chocolate chip cookie. The combination of the soft, chewy dough and the sweet, melty chocolate chips is simply irresistible. So, naturally, I had to develop my own recipe for the perfect homemade chocolate chip cookies.

Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup packed light brown sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups chocolate chips

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined.
5. Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
6. Drop rounded tablespoonfuls of dough onto ungreased baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
7. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
8. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer them to wire racks to cool completely.
