These chewy chocolate chip cookies are the perfect combination of crispy edges and soft, gooey centers. They are made with a simple blend of ingredients that are likely already in your pantry, making them a quick and easy treat to whip up whenever a craving strikes.
How To Make:
To make these cookies, you will need butter, brown sugar, white sugar, an egg, vanilla extract, all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and chocolate chips. The butter and sugars are creamed together until light and fluffy, then the egg and vanilla are added. The dry ingredients are combined in a separate bowl and gradually added to the wet mixture until just combined. The chocolate chips are then folded in, and the dough is scooped into balls and baked in the oven for 10-12 minutes until golden brown and slightly undercooked in the center.
These cookies are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven while the chocolate is still melted and the centers are soft and chewy. They can also be stored in an airtight container for a few days, although they may lose some of their chewiness over time. These cookies are a classic and beloved treat that is perfect for sharing with family and friends or indulging in as a special treat for yourself.
