Equipment
- 1 mixing bowl
- 1 electric mixer optional
- 1 measuring cups
- 1 measuring spoons
- 1 baking sheet
- 1 parchment paper
- 1 cookie scoop or tablespoon
- 1 cooling rack
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips or colorful sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 3-5 minutes).
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips or sprinkles if desired.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underbaked, which is fine as they will continue to set as they cool.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.
Notes
For variations, you can include nuts or other mix-ins like dried fruits.
