🌟 Ingredients
1 cup (225g) unsalted butter, softened
1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
1 cup (220g) brown sugar
2 large eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
3 cups (375g) all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
2 cups (350g) chocolate chips
Optional: nuts, toffee bits, or M&Ms for variety.
🔹 Instructions
1. Preheat & Prep
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) if baking immediately.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Mix Wet Ingredients
In a large bowl, cream together butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in eggs, one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract.
3. Mix Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually combine dry ingredients into the wet mixture.
4. Add Mix-ins
Fold in chocolate chips and any optional add-ins like nuts or candy.
5. Bake or Eat Raw
For cookies: scoop onto prepared baking sheet, about 1–2 tbsp per cookie, and bake for 10–12 minutes until golden at the edges.
For edible cookie dough: omit raw eggs or use heat-treated flour for safe snacking.
💡 Tips for Perfect Cookie Dough
Softened butter is key — not melted.
Chill dough for 30–60 minutes for thicker cookies.
Mix-ins can be customized — try white chocolate, caramel, or peanut butter chips.
Storage: Keep raw dough in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
