Ingredients:
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ¾ cup packed brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups Kraft Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
Instructions:
- Preheat & Prep: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Cream the Butter & Sugars: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. This step is crucial for achieving a tender crumb!
- Add Wet Ingredients: Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Combine Wet & Dry: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix!
- Stir in Chocolate Chips: Fold in the Kraft Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips.
- Bake: Drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie. Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Cool & Enjoy: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Tips for Success:
- Use good quality chocolate chips for the best flavor.
- Don't overmix the dough, or your cookies will be tough.
- Let the cookies cool completely before storing them in an airtight container.
Variations:
- Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip: Add ½ cup of creamy peanut butter to the dough.
- Oatmeal Raisin: Add 1 cup of rolled oats and ½ cup of raisins to the dough.
- White Chocolate Macadamia Nut: Substitute white chocolate chips for the semi-sweet chocolate chips and add ½ cup of chopped macadamia nuts.
