Description
These homemade Chips Ahoy cookies are the ultimate treat for chocolate chip cookie lovers. Soft, chewy, and loaded with chocolate chips, they’re a step up from the store-bought classic and incredibly easy to make. Sink your teeth into a warm, gooey cookie that’s packed with chocolate in every bite.
Ingredients
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2 large eggs
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Parchment paper helps the cookies not stick and makes for easy cleanup.
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. This step is important; take your time to ensure the ingredients are well mixed.
Beat in the vanilla extract and eggs until well combined.
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. Be careful not to overmix at this stage.
Stir in the chocolate chips.
Drop rounded tablespoons of the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still soft.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Use a cookie scoop to ensure all cookies are uniform in size, which helps them bake evenly.
Don’t skip the parchment paper. It ensures your cookies won’t stick and makes cleanup a breeze.
Let the butter soften at room temperature instead of microwaving to ensure the cookies have the right texture.
Cool the cookies on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to prevent breakage.
For extra-thick cookies, chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking.
