With simple ingredients and easy instructions, you’ll be able to enjoy a batch of homemade cookies in no time!
Ingredients:
1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup (150g) white granulated sugar
3/4 cup (150g) packed brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups (315g) all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup (180g) chocolate chips (or your preferred mix-ins like nuts or dried fruit)
Directions:
Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or lightly grease them.
Mix the wet ingredients: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, white sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Don’t overwork the dough.
Add the mix-ins: Fold in the chocolate chips (or your desired mix-ins like chopped nuts or dried fruit) until evenly distributed.
Form the cookies: Use a tablespoon or cookie scoop to form rounded dough balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart to allow space for spreading.
Bake: Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is slightly soft. For a crispier texture, bake for an additional minute or two, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
Cool down: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serving and Storage Tips:
Serving: Serve these crispy cookies with a glass of milk, or pack them in lunchboxes for a sweet midday snack.
Storage: Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. For longer storage, you can freeze the cookies in a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months. Just thaw them at room temperature for a few minutes before enjoying.
