Ingredients

  • 3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup butter softened
  • 1 ½ cups brown sugar
  • 1 ¼ teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 eggs room temperature
  • 1 ½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Mix flour, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl and set aside.
  • Mix butter with brown sugar in a different bowl. Add vanilla and eggs and mix until smooth and fluffy.
  • Add flour mixture to wet ingredients and mix to combine. Then add chocolate chips.
  • Drop onto greased cookie sheets and bake for 10-12 minutes or until bottoms are golden brown. The tops might still look doughy but they will cook as they sit on the cookie sheet. Let sit on cookie sheets for 5 minutes then remove to a wire rack and let cool.

Notes

Substitutions
  • Sprinkles – Sometimes I add 1 1/4 cup of chocolate chips and 1/4 cup of sprinkles to add some color!
  • Nuts – Substitute half of the chocolate chips with chopped nuts like peanuts, walnuts, almonds, or cashews.
  • Baking bits – Check out the baking aisle for different baking bits to add to your cookies.
  • Candy – M&Ms, Reese’s Pieces, chopped peanut butter cups or other chopped candy bars are great, too.
Storage Tips
Room Temperature - ​Once the cookies are completely cooled, store them in an airtight container. They will keep for three to four days.
Freezer - Once they are cooled, place them in a freezer bag or container. I like to stack them with wax paper or parchment paper separating the layers. This will keep them from sticking together.
Chocolate chip cookies freeze well for up to two months. Let them thaw at room temperature before serving.
