Ingredients: Crafting Cookie Bliss
- 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
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
Directions: Baking Delightful Cookies
- Preparation: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Creaming Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Egg and Flavor Addition: Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Dry Ingredients Mixture: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Combining Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Chocolate Chip Addition: Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Cookie Shaping: Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each for spreading.
- Baking: Bake for 9-11 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. The centers may appear slightly underdone, but they’ll continue to set as they cool.
- Cooling: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Tips and Variations:
Cookie Varieties:

For nutty chocolate chip cookies, add a cup of chopped walnuts, pecans, or almonds to the dough.
