A quick and easy one-bowl recipe for bakery-style chocolate chip cookies that requires no chill time, perfect for beginners and last-minute baking.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/4 cups (280g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup (150g) packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 2 cups (340g) semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. Using an electric hand mixer or stand mixer, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2 to 3 minutes.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then add the vanilla extract and mix until combined.
  5. Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed just until combined. Avoid overmixing.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips gently with a spatula, ensuring even distribution.
  7. Drop rounded balls of dough about 2 inches apart onto the prepared baking sheet using a cookie scoop or tablespoon.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden and centers are slightly soft. The cookies will firm up as they cool.
  9. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Use softened butter for best texture; avoid overmixing the dough to prevent tough cookies. If dough is too soft, chill for 5 minutes before baking. For gluten-free or dairy-free versions, substitute ingredients accordingly. Cookies are best enjoyed warm but store well at room temperature or frozen.
