Whether you’re baking for a special occasion or simply craving something sweet, this step-by-step guide will help you create perfect cookies every time.
Gather Your Ingredients
Before you start baking, make sure you have all the necessary ingredients on hand. For Toll House chocolate chip cookies, you’ll need: 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter (softened), 3/4 cup granulated sugar, 3/4 cup packed brown sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 2 large eggs. Don’t forget the star of the show – two cups of semi-sweet chocolate chips.
Preheat Your Oven
Set your oven to preheat at 375°F (190°C). Preheating is crucial as it ensures that your cookies bake evenly and achieve that perfect golden brown color. While waiting for the oven to heat up, it’s a good idea to prepare your baking sheets by greasing them lightly with butter or lining them with parchment paper.
Mixing the Dough
In a large bowl, combine your flour, baking soda and salt; set aside. In another mixing bowl (preferably using an electric mixer), cream together the softened butter with both sugars until light and fluffy. This process typically takes about two minutes. Beat in the vanilla extract and eggs one at a time until they are fully incorporated into the mixture. Gradually blend in your dry ingredient mixture until just combined; be careful not to over-mix. Finally, stir in those delicious chocolate chips by hand.
Scoop and Bake
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto your prepared baking sheets about two inches apart to allow room for spreading during baking. Bake in your preheated oven for about 9-11 minutes or until they are golden brown around the edges but still soft in the center – they will continue cooking slightly after being removed from the oven.
Cool and Enjoy.
Once baked to perfection, remove your cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for about five minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely. Enjoy these delicious treats warm or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for later enjoyment. You can even freeze any leftovers – if there are any. They make fantastic snacks anytime you want something sweet.
Baking Toll House chocolate chip cookies is not only straightforward but also incredibly rewarding when you take that first bite. Now that you’re equipped with this step-by-step recipe along with some handy tips—get ready to impress family and friends alike with these delicious homemade treats.
