Description
Delicious chocolate chip cookies with a festive twist, perfect for the holiday season.
Ingredients
Scale
- 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 light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
- Coarse sugar or edible glitter, for decoration (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats and position racks for even airflow.
- Whisk together 2 1/4 cups flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl; set aside.
- Beat 1 cup softened unsalted butter with 3/4 cup granulated sugar and 3/4 cup packed brown sugar until creamy and slightly pale, about 2–3 minutes.
- Add 2 large eggs one at a time, beating after each, then mix in 2 teaspoons vanilla extract until combined.
- Gradually mix in the flour mixture on low speed until just combined; avoid overmixing to keep cookies tender.
- Stir in 2 cups semi-sweet chips and 1/2 cup white chips with a spatula, reserving a few white chips for topping if desired.
- Drop by rounded tablespoonfuls onto prepared sheets, sprinkle with coarse sugar if desired, and bake 9–11 minutes until edges are golden and centers slightly soft.
- Cool on baking sheets for 2 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely. Enjoy warm or store in an airtight container.
Notes
- For a festive look, use edible glitter or coarse sugar on top before baking.
- Ensure the butter is softened for easy creaming with sugars.
- Store cookies in an airtight container for freshness.
