What kid (or adult for that matter), doesn’t love chocolate chip cookies? With school coming back in session soon, here’s a great soft and chewy chocolate chip cookie recipe.

Ingredients:

  • 2 1/4 cups flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 cup room temperature unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons pur vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 cups semisweet chocolate chip cookies
To Make:
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • In a small bowl, mix flour and baking powder.
  • In a mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat sugar and butter on medium until light and fluffy. Turn to low speed and add salt, vanilla and eggs. Beat until well mixed.
  • Slowly add flower mixture. Mix until it is just combined.
  • Stir in chocolate chips.
  • Drop heaping tablespoon-size balls of dough about 2 inches apart on baking sheets lined with parchment paper.
  • Bake until cookies are golden around the edges, but still soft in the centre (about 8-10 minutes).
  • Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet 1-2 minutes.
  • Transfer to wire rack and let cool completely.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container lined with parchment paper at room temperature for up to one week (if they last that long).
