Today, I am going to share with you one of my all-time favorite recipes: Easy Homemade Chocolate Chip Cookies. These cookies are the perfect combination of crispy edges and soft, chewy centers. They are loaded with gooey chocolate chips and have just the right amount of sweetness. And the best part? They are incredibly easy to make!

I still remember the first time I made these cookies. I was a young chef, just starting out in the culinary world. I had recently moved to a small town in Sweden and opened up my own bakery. I wanted to create a cookie recipe that would become a signature item at my bakery, something that everyone would come from miles around to taste. And let me tell you, these chocolate chip cookies did not disappoint!

Enough chit-chat, let’s get to the recipe!

Ingredients

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

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then 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 wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
5. Stir in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
6. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto ungreased baking sheets. Leave about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
7. Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. The centers may still appear slightly undercooked, but they will firm up as they cool.
8. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer them to wire racks to cool completely.

And there you have it - Chef Sven’s Easy Homemade Chocolate Chip Cookies! These cookies are perfect for any occasion, whether you’re hosting a bake sale, celebrating a special occasion, or simply enjoying a sweet treat after a long day. I guarantee they will be a hit with anyone who tries them!
