Martha's Soft and Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies

These are the clear winner here.
Prep Time10 minutes
Cook Time30 minutes
Course: Dessert
Servings: 3 dozen

Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla
  • 1-1½ tsp salt (coarse salt recommended)
  • 2 ¼ cup flour
  • ⅓ tsp baking soda
  • 2 cups chocolate chips (I recommend a mix of semisweet and milk chocolate)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375°.
  • Cream together the butter and the sugar and brown sugar. Add vanilla and eggs and salt and mix well. (The original recipe called for 1 tsp. salt. I like to use 1½ tsp. coarse salt.)
  • Add flour and baking soda. Stir in chocolate chips.
  • Place dough by spoonfuls on a baking sheet covered in parchment paper. Bake for 8-10 minutes until barely browned on the edges. Don't overbake. Continue with remaining dough until all the cookies are made.
