The Best Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe Ever

This is the best chocolate chip cookie recipe ever. No funny ingredients, no chilling time, etc. Just a simple, straightforward, amazingly delicious, doughy yet still fully cooked, chocolate chip cookie that turns out perfectly every single time!

Ingredients:

1 cup unsalted butter, softened

1 cup granulated sugar

1 cup packed light brown sugar

2 large eggs

2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

3 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon salt

2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions:

Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

Cream the Butter and Sugars
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together with a hand or stand mixer until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).

Add Eggs and Vanilla
Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated. Add the vanilla extract and mix well.

Combine Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Avoid overmixing.

Add Chocolate Chips
Fold in the chocolate chips using a spatula or wooden spoon, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Shape and Bake
Scoop 2-tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are just set. Do not overbake; they will continue to cook on the baking sheet.

Cool and Enjoy

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
