Description

Buttery Chocolate Chip Cookies that are chewy on the inside, crispy around the edges, and loaded with chocolate.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Butter, Softened
  • 1 cup Packed Dark Brown Sugar
  • ½ cups Granulated Sugar
  • 2  Large Eggs
  • 2 teaspoons Pure Vanilla Extract
  • 2 cups All-purpose Flour
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
  • 1-½ teaspoon Salt
  • 16 ounces, weight Bittersweet Chocolate Chips

Preparation

Preheat oven to 375ºF and line a couple of baking sheets with parchment paper or a Silpat baking mat.

With an electric mixer, cream the butter, sugars, eggs and vanilla in a large bowl until light and fluffy.

In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt with a wire whisk. Stir flour into butter mixture, just until combined. Stir in chocolate chips.

Drop by rounded generous tablespoon-size balls of dough onto the baking sheets, spaced 3 inches apart. These will spread out quite a bit.

Bake for about 12 minutes, until golden brown and mostly set in the center.

Place the baking sheet on a wire rack to cool. These are very fragile when warm, so let them cool for at least 5 minutes on the baking sheet before gently moving them to the wire rack to cool completely.

Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week. These also freeze well, sealed in freezer bags.
