Chocolate chip cookies are a favorite among many people. This is because they are so delicious and simple. Fortunately, they are simple to make as well. Here we will tell you how to make delicious chocolate chip cookies.

First, you will need to cream together 2 sticks of butter with cups sugar and cups brown sugar. You can use shortening instead or part shortening and part butter if you don’t have enough butter.

Now you can mix in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract along with 2 eggs. Mix it in thoroughly, but you don’t need to beat it and whip it. You don’t want to add too much air. Use an electric mixer to make it easier.

Next, combine 2 cups of flour with 1 teaspoon of baking soda and 1 teaspoon of salt. Mix it together with a spoon until it is well combined. There shouldn’t be any clumps in this mixture.

Once the dry ingredients are mixed, slowly add them to the wet ingredients and little bit at a time and stir it in. If you are using an electric mixer, use the dough hook so that it mixes in thoroughly.

After the flour is mixed in, stir in 2 cups of semisweet chocolate chips. This is equal to 1 12 oz. bag. Stir it in and then put the dough in the refrigerator to chill. Chill it until the dough is harder, at least 2 hours. This will allow for cookies that hold their shape better.

When the dough is chilled, roll it in to 1 to 2 inch balls and place them two inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake them in the oven at 350 degrees for 8 to 12 minutes, depending on the size. Make sure the cookie sheets are cooled before you put the next batch on so that they don’t melt flat on the pan before they get in the oven.

Once they are finished baking, take them out of the oven and leave them on the pan to cool for about 3 minutes. Use a cooking spatula to remove them from the pan and transfer them to a wire rack to cool. Serve them warm or store them for later in a cookie jar.
