Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe
This easy Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe makes deliciously chewy, cafe-quality cookies from basic pantry staples. No chilling time required!
Servings: 30 cookies (made with a 1 oz scoop)
Ingredients
- 1 stick salted butter, softened $1.06
- ½ cup granulated sugar $0.42
- ¾ cup light brown sugar $0.36
- 1 egg $0.33
- 1 tsp vanilla $0.65
- 1 ½ cups flour $0.25
- ½ tsp baking soda $0.01
- ½ tsp salt $0.01
- 1 cup chocolate chips $1.48
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F and gather ingredients.
- Add the softened butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar to a large mixing bowl.
- Cream butter and sugars together with a hand mixer on medium speed.
- Add egg and vanilla extract to the creamed sugar and butter and beat with hand mixer until combined, barely a minute or so.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together dry ingredients, flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Add half of the dry mixture to the wet mix bowl and mix with hand mixer until consistent. Then, add the remaining dry ingredients and mix until dough forms.
- Fold in the chocolate chips by hand.
- Using a cookie scoop, scoop out dough onto a parchment-lined cookie sheet, I was able to fit 12 per sheet.
- Bake for 8 minutes or until the edges are just barely golden. Remove from oven and let cool for a perfectly chewy cookie. If you like your cookies a little crispier, leave in for up to 11 minutes. If you want a larger “café style” cookie, combine 2 scoops and roll them into a ball by hand. You can fit 6 cookies per sheet if you up the size. Bake time for larger cookies increases to 14 minutes.
- Optional step: When you remove the cookies from the oven, you can sprinkle a little extra sea salt on top while they're still hot. I highly recommend it!
