Chocolate chip cookies are a timeless favorite, and when made with brown sugar, they take on a rich, caramel-like flavor that enhances the overall experience. This recipe for Brown Sugar Chocolate Chip Cookies yields soft and chewy cookies that are perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale:
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup brown sugar, packed tightly
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, then add the vanilla extract and mix until combined.
Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the centers are still soft.
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
