Top Rated Chocolate Chip Cookie

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.

3. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.

5. Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough.

6. Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

7. Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Be careful not to overbake to keep the cookies soft and chewy.

8. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the cookies to cool for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

9. Serve these Top Rated Chocolate Chip Cookies with a glass of cold milk or a cozy cup of tea for the perfect indulgent treat.

10. Store any leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, if they last that long!
