Perfectly Puffy Chocolate Chip Cookies
Ingredients:
1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, softened
Tip: Make sure it’s softened to room temperature, which will help with even creaming and prevent excess spreading.
2 cups light brown sugar, packed
Using only brown sugar adds chewiness and a hint of molasses flavor, which complements the chocolate chips beautifully.
2 large eggs, at room temperature
1½ teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2½ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon sea salt
Sea salt enhances the flavors, giving a delicious balance to the sweetness.
1 (12 oz) bag semi-sweet chocolate chips
Using semi-sweet chocolate balances out the sweetness of the cookie, but you can adjust based on your taste.
Instructions:
Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
Cream Butter and Sugar:
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and packed brown sugar together on medium speed using a hand mixer or stand mixer with a paddle attachment until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes. This step is crucial for achieving the right texture, as it incorporates air for a puffier cookie.
