Chocolate Chip Cookies
These are the best warm gooey chocolate chip cookies that don’t require chilling in the fridge if you don’t have time!
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- ½ cup white sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 ¾ cup all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Microwave two sticks of unsalted butter for only 30 seconds. Add to a stand mixer bowl.
- To the stand mixer, add brown sugar and white sugar.
- Mix on low to cream together butter and sugar for 3 minutes.
- Add eggs and vanilla extract. Mix together for 1 minute.
- Add flour, baking soda and salt and mix together until combined.
- Fold in chocolate chips. Measure with your heart.
- Chill dough in the fridge for 30 minutes (optional)
- Scoop dough onto parchment lined baking sheets in 1 inch balls.
- Bake for 8 to 12 minutes.
- Let cookies cool on a sheet pan for 3 to 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire cooling rack.
Notes
You can also make the cookie dough by hand without a stand mixer.
By not chilling the dough, you save time but your cookies will flatten out a bit more in the oven. If you chill the dough, they’ll remain puffy.
I love making a big batch of these cookies and freezing them in Souper Cube Cookie Cubes, so I can pop one or two out and bake in our toaster oven whenever we want a sweet treat.
