A quick and easy one-bowl recipe for chewy, chocolatey homemade cookies that are perfect for any occasion and crowd-pleasing.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/4 cups (280 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (227 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup (150 g) granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup (165 g) packed brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 cups (340 g) semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Add the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar to the same bowl. Mix with a wooden spoon or spatula until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Add eggs one at a time, stirring after each addition, then stir in vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually stir in the flour mixture until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips gently until evenly distributed.
  7. Scoop rounded mounds of dough about 2 inches apart onto prepared baking sheets.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden brown but centers are still soft.
  9. Let cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.

Notes

Chill dough for 15 minutes before scooping for uniform cookies. Rotate baking sheets halfway through baking for even browning. Avoid overmixing dough to keep cookies tender. Pull cookies out when edges are set but centers are still soft for perfect chewiness.
