Best Ever Chocolate Chip Cookies

Print Recipe

Buttery, slightly doughy on the inside with crisp edges—this fuss-free “Best Ever” chocolate chip cookie recipe delivers reliably perfect results every time.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2⅓ cups (315 g) all‑purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 cup (226 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 cup (220 g) packed light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 2 cups (340 g) semi‑sweet chocolate chips or chunks

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 °F (190 °C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl or stand mixer, cream butter and both sugars until light and fluffy (~2 min).
  4. Beat in eggs one at a time, then vanilla until combined.
  5. On low speed, mix in dry ingredients until just combined, then stir in chocolate chips.
  6. Use a 2 Tbsp cookie scoop or spoon to portion dough into balls and place 1½–2″ apart on sheets.
  7. Bake for 8–10 minutes until edges are golden, centers still soft. Do not overbake!
  8. Cool cookies on baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire rack.
  9. Store in an airtight container at room temperature up to 5 days (or freeze dough or baked cookies).

Notes

  • Dough doesn’t require chilling—bake immediately for best texture.
  • Don’t overbake—cookies should look slightly underdone in the center.
  • Freeze cookie dough balls flash on a tray, then store in bags for fresh-baked cookies anytime.
  • Use a cookie scoop for even sizing and baking consistency.
