Ooey-goey, soft in the middle and crispy on the outside, the ultimate sweet treat! This is by far the best chocolate chip cookie recipe, it’s simple, delicious and makes about 3 dozen cookies. The dough freezes beautifully, so you can have fresh, warm chocolate chip cookies whenever you have a craving. Sometimes it’s a simple step that creates an outstanding cookie like using both white and brown sugar or using top quality chocolate chips. These cookies make superb ice cream sandwiches too.

Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup light brown sugar packed
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs at room temperature
- 2 cups good quality dark or semisweet chocolate chips I like the Guittard brand of chips
- 1 cup good quality white chocolate chips
Servings: dozen
Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line 2 cookies sheets with silicon baking mats or parchment paper. Combine the flour, baking soda and salt in small bowl and set aside.
- In the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar and vanilla extract until creamy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Gradually beat in the flour mixture a little bit at a time. Stir in the chocolate chips, making sure they are evenly dispersed. Using an ice cream scoop or a couple of tablespoons, drop the batter onto the baking sheets. Don't crowd the cookies. You can re-use the cookies sheets for the remaining batches, once they've cooled down. I often place extra chocolate chips in each cookie so they're nice and chippy! Bake the cookies for 9 to 11 minutes or until golden brown on the edges. Cool the cookies on baking sheets for only 2 minutes, then remove to wire racks to cool completely.
