Ingredients
- Gather up:
- 1 stick unsalted butter
- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 12 oz. semisweet chocolate chips
- 2 1/4 cups all purpose flour
- 3/4 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
Preparation
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees. Melt butter in a microwave safe container. While the butter cools, combine flour, baking soda, and salt in a small bowl.
Combine butter with remaining ingredients in a large bowl. Be careful not to overmix the wet ingredients! They should be just combined.
Stir the chocolate chips into your wet ingredients.
Dump dry ingredients into wet ingredients and mix with a wooden spoon. Do not overmix! Again, ingredients should be just blended. We’ve found that overmixing leads to flat cookies, and when done right, these cookies are dense and fluffy. YUM.
Using a cookie scoop, spoon, or your hands, make 1.5-inch balls of dough, and drop them on the cookie sheet.
Cook for 10-12 minutes. After removing from oven, allow to cool for 1-2 minutes, and then move to a cooling rack.
And there you have it: the most amazing chocolate chip cookies ever, a.k.a the ones that replaced break-n-bake!
