Description
Classic Nestle Toll House cookies with buttery centers, crisp edges, and rich chocolate chips — perfect for family baking nights.
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter (salted or unsalted), softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour (about 280g)
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- Optional: 1 cup chopped walnuts, oats, pumpkin puree, or use brown butter
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat to 350°F (175°C) for soft cookies or 375°F (190°C) for crispier edges.
- Mix wet ingredients: Cream butter and sugars until pale and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla.
- Combine dry ingredients: Sift flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually fold into the wet mixture.
- Fold in chips & mix-ins: Stir in chocolate chips and any extras like nuts or oats.
- Scoop dough: Use a #40 cookie scoop (about 1 tbsp) for even cookies.
- Bake: Place on an ungreased baking sheet and bake for 8–11 minutes until edges are golden and centers look slightly underdone.
- Cool: Let cookies rest on the pan for 2–3 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For chewier cookies, chill dough for 30 minutes before baking. Replace half the butter with shortening for less spread. Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Nutritional data is estimated.
