OMG Best Chocolate chip cookies EVER.! – Don’t LOSE this recipe

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, cream butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Beat in eggs and vanilla until combined.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
5. Stir in chocolate chips (and nuts if using).
6. Scoop cookie dough (about 2 tablespoons each) onto prepared baking sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart.
7. Bake 10–12 minutes until edges are lightly golden but centers are soft. Don’t overbake — cookies will continue to set as they cool.
8. Let cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Serve warm or store in an airtight container.

💡 Tips

• Browned butter: For a nutty, richer flavor, lightly brown the butter before creaming with sugars.
• Chunky chocolate: Use chocolate chunks instead of chips for pockets of gooey chocolate.
• Chewy perfection: Slightly underbake and let cookies cool on the sheet for a soft, chewy center.
• Freezing dough: Scoop dough onto a tray and freeze — bake straight from frozen for fresh cookies anytime.
