Classic cookies that are crispy on the edges and chewy in the middle, packed with sweet, buttery flavor. Perfectly balanced and versatile for any occasion.

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
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually blend the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips if using.
  7. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the centers are still soft.
  9. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Add chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans for crunch.
  • Swap chocolate chips for white chocolate or butterscotch chips for variation.
  • Sprinkle sea salt on top before baking to enhance sweetness.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature up to one week or freeze for up to three months.
  • Reheat cookies in microwave for 10-15 seconds or in a 300°F oven for a few minutes to refresh softness.
