Ultimate No-Fail Chocolate Chip Cookies

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Ultimate No-Fail Chocolate Chip Cookies.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C), setting the stage for delicious cookies.

2. Step 2

   In a medium bowl, combine all-purpose flour, baking soda, and a pinch of salt, whisking them together until they’re perfectly blended.

3. Step 3

   Now, grab a large mixing bowl and cream together softened butter, white sugar, and brown sugar.

4. Step 4

   Mix until the texture is smooth and fluffy, like a cloud of sweetness.

5. Step 5

   Next, add the eggs to your buttery mixture, one at a time, making sure to mix well after each addition.

6. Step 6

   Stir in the vanilla extract, letting its warm aroma fill your kitchen.

7. Step 7

   Gradually incorporate the flour mixture into the wet ingredients, adding about a cup at a time.

8. Step 8

   Mix gently until everything is just combined—remember, we want to keep that tender texture, so avoid overmixing! Now it’s time for the star of the show: fold in those delightful semisweet chocolate chips, ensuring they’re evenly distributed throughout the dough.

9. Step 9

   Using rounded tablespoons, drop the dough onto ungreased baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each scoop to allow for spreading.

10. Step 10

    Pop the trays into your preheated oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the edges turn a lovely golden brown.

11. Step 11

    Don’t worry if the centers look a tad underbaked; they’ll continue to firm up as they cool.

12. Step 12

    After baking, let the cookies rest on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes, allowing them to set before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.

13. Step 13

    Enjoy the sweet aroma wafting through your home as you anticipate the first bite of your homemade cookies!.
