Ingredients:
- 1 1/4 cups sugar
- 1 1/4 cups brown sugar
- 1 1/4 cups margarine
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 3 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 4 1/4 eggs
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions:
-
Preheat Oven: Heat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures that it’s perfectly preheated and ready for baking when your cookie dough is prepared.
-
Prepare Dough: In a large bowl, combine the sugar, brown sugar, and margarine. Use a hand mixer or stand mixer to beat the mixture until it becomes light and fluffy. This step is essential for achieving the perfect texture in your cookies.
-
Incorporate Wet Ingredients: Add the vanilla extract and eggs to the sugar mixture. Blend everything together until it is well combined. This ensures that the wet ingredients are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
-
Combine Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt to the wet mixture. Mix well until all the dry ingredients are fully incorporated. This step ensures that your cookie dough has the right consistency and flavor.
-
Add Chocolate Chips: Gently stir in the chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough. Be careful not to overmix at this stage to avoid crushing the chocolate chips.
-
Form Cookies: Using a rounded tablespoon, scoop the cookie dough and drop it onto ungreased cookie sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie. This allows room for the cookies to spread as they bake.
-
Bake: Place the cookie sheets in the preheated oven and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the cookies are light golden brown. Keep an eye on them towards the end to ensure they don’t overbake.
-
Cool and Enjoy: Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the cookie sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve and enjoy these deliciously soft and chewy chocolate chip cookies!
