Description
These Toll House Cookie Recipes are an all-time favorite. They have a soft center, a slight crunch around the edges, and the perfect balance of sweetness and chocolate.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose Flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or leave them ungreased.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: Whisk the flour, baking soda, and salt in a medium-sized bowl.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until creamy and smooth.
- Add Eggs: Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition to ensure even incorporation.
- Combine Dry Ingredients with Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, beating at low speed until combined.
- Add Chocolate Chips and Nuts: Stir the chocolate chips and nuts (if using) gently into the dough until you evenly distribute them.
- Shape Dough: Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
- Bake: Bake for 9 to 11 minutes until the edges are golden brown and the centers are slightly soft.
- Cool: After cooling the baking sheet for a few minutes, move the cookies to a wire rack to finish cooling. Enjoy them warm, or save them for later!
Notes
- Soft Cookies: Bake for closer to 9 minutes if you prefer a smoother texture.
- Chewy Texture: Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking for an extra-chewy cookie. This helps reduce spreading and gives the cookies a richer flavor.
