Full ingredient list with measurements is provided in the printable recipe card below.

How to Make the Recipe

Let’s dive into the step-by-step process:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line your baking sheets with parchment paper or spray with non-stick spray.
2. Partially melt the butter—either microwave it halfway or place it in a metal bowl in the preheating oven until half melted. Let it cool slightly.
3. Beat the cooled butter with the sugars until light and fluffy. Mix in the vanilla and eggs one at a time.
4. Add the flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix on low until combined. If the dough is too wet, add flour 1 tablespoon at a time (no more than 3 tablespoons extra).
5. Fold in the chocolate chips. Scoop the dough (1/4 cup for large cookies, 1.5 tablespoons for medium) onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them out for spreading. Press slightly and add extra chocolate chips on top if desired.
6. Bake one tray at a time: 10–12 minutes for large cookies, 8–9 minutes for small. Cool on a wire rack.
7. Store in an airtight container. Makes 1 dozen large or 2 dozen small cookies.

Pro Tips for Making the Recipe

Here are some tips to ensure your cookies turn out perfectly every time:

• Use high-quality chocolate chips for the best flavor.
• Don’t overbake—cookies should be lightly golden on the edges but still soft in the center.
• Let the dough rest for 10 minutes before scooping to allow the flour to hydrate fully.
• For an extra chewy texture, bake for 8–9 minutes for large cookies and 6–7 minutes for small ones.

How to Serve

These cookies are delicious on their own, but here are a few ideas to take them to the next level:

• Pair with a cold glass of milk for a classic treat.
• Use as the base for ice cream sandwiches.
• Add to your favorite easy pasta recipes for a sweet surprise.
• Include in your next quick family dinners or weeknight dinner ideas as a special dessert.

Make Ahead and Storage

These cookies are perfect for making ahead:

• Dough can be refrigerated for up to 3 days before baking.
• Baked cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
• Freeze baked cookies for up to 2 months—perfect for quick snacks or last-minute treats.
