Great Basic Chocolate Chip Cookie
I first found this recipe in March of 2010. I had been to Whole Foods and bought a cookie. I thought it was a solid cookie, so I decided to track down the recipe. I found this version on AJC.com, and it was initially published on 07/07/2005.
I do think this is a better cookie than the one at Whole Foods, but when you are craving a sweet treat, WHole Food’s bakery will come through in a pinch!

minutesIngredients
1 1/2 Cup Butter (2 1/2 Sticks), room temperature
2/3 Cup Granulated Sugar
2 1/4 Cup Brown Sugar
3 Medium Eggs, room temperature
3/4 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
3/4 Teaspoon Salt
3/4 Teaspoon Baking Soda
3 Cups All-Purpose Flour
16 ounces Semi Sweet Chocolate Chips
Directions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a large bowl, using electric beaters, cream the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Add the eggs one at a time; add the vanilla extract.
- Add the salt and baking soda, and then add the flour 1 cup at a time. Using a spoon, stir in the chocolate chips.
- Drop the dough by tablespoon onto cookie sheets, allowing 2 to 3 inches between each cookie. Bake about 10 minutes, until golden brown.
- Cool slightly on pan and then transfer to wire racks to cool.
- Enjoy!
Notes
- Chocolate chips generally come in 8 ounce, 12 ounce, and 24 ounce bags, so if you don't have a kitchen scale, the easiest option is to buy two 8 ounce bags.
