Chocolate chip cookies are a beloved classic that’s perfect for any occasion. To make this recipe, start by creaming together butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until it’s light and fluffy. Then, mix in your eggs and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt, then gradually stir it into the butter mixture until it’s well combined. Finally, fold in chocolate chips or chunks for the perfect sweet and gooey touch.
Scoop the dough onto a baking sheet and bake in the oven until the cookies are golden brown and baked through. Allow the cookies to cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve the cookies warm with a glass of milk or store them in an airtight container for later.
