butter

chocolate chips

🥗Healthier: dark chocolate chips

💰Cheaper: chocolate chunks

Dark chocolate has less sugar and more antioxidants, while chocolate chunks can be less expensive.

Start with 2.5 sticks of softened butter at room temperature.

Add 1 cup of brown sugar and 0.5 cup of white sugar to the butter.

Cream the butter and sugars together until light and fluffy, incorporating air for a plumper cookie.

Add 2 eggs, one at a time, mixing until integrated after each addition.

Add 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract and mix well.

Set the wet ingredients aside and prepare the dry ingredients.

In a separate bowl, combine all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt (3/4 teaspoon plus extra for saltiness).

Whisk the dry ingredients to combine.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.

Fold in semi-sweet chocolate chips, or other types if preferred, and add nuts or dried fruit if desired.

Scoop dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving 1-2 inches of space between each cookie.

Press additional chocolate chips onto the top of the cookies for presentation.

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Bake cookies for 10 minutes, then check for doneness.

If not done, continue baking for a couple more minutes until golden on the outside and slightly squishy on the inside.

Let cookies cool on the tray for a couple of minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
