That's a lot for a cookie to do! With a couple of tricks, your cookies will be perfect every time, no more sprawling, too crispy or too soft cookies.

Perfect every time! You can use any kind of chocolate that you like, dark chocolate, milk chocolate, semi-sweet, chunky or chips, have fun and enjoy!

Recipe type: Cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup of unsalted butter, melted
- ¾ cup of granulated sugar
- 1 cup of light brown sugar, packed
- 2 eggs, large and room temperature
- 2½ tsp of pure vanilla extract
- 2½ cups of all purpose flour
- 1 tsp of baking soda
- 1 tsp of salt
- 2 cups of chocolate chips, I used semi-sweet
Instructions
- Here we go! You'll have cookies and milk in no time! So, preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
- Using an electric mixer, beat the melted butter and both sugars until well combined.
- Now add in eggs and vanilla, beat until mixed.
- Slowly add in the flour, baking soda and salt until combined.
- Remove the bowl from the mixer and stir in the chocolate chips by hand.
- Now put the whole darn bowl in the freezer for 10 minutes, while the dough is chilling, line the cookie sheets with parchment for easy clean-up and no sticking.
- Using a large tablespoon or ice-cream scoop, spoon the batter onto the baking sheets, 2 inches apart. Bake for 10 - 12 minutes, then cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet and transfer to a wire rack or another flat surface to cool completely, That's it, put the coffee on!
Notes
If you are baking in batches, make sure to let the hot cookie sheets cool down before using again, and while they are cooling down, put the dough in the refrigerator to keep cool.
