In a large bowl, cream together 115 g softened unsalted butter with 75 g granulated sugar and 75 g packed light brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- 2
Beat in 1 large egg until fully incorporated. Stir in 1 tsp pure vanilla extract.

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together 135 g all-purpose flour, 1/2 tsp baking soda, and 1/2 tsp salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.

Fold in 125 g semi-sweet chocolate chips (and 50 g chopped nuts, if using). Cover the dough and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours, for best results.

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto baking sheets lined with parchment paper, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the centers are still slightly soft. Let cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a chocolate chip cookie?
A chocolate chip cookie is a type of baked dessert originating from the United States. Composed primarily of flour, butter, sugar, eggs, vanilla, salt, nuts, and chocolate pieces, it is typically consumed as a snack or treat.
What's the best type and temperature for the butter in classic chocolate chip cookies?
Use unsalted butter at room temperature for optimal creaming with the sugars, which creates a lighter texture. If only salted butter is available, reduce the added salt in the recipe by a pinch.
What kind of chocolate chips or chunks yield the best result for a classic chocolate chip cookie?
For a classic flavor, semisweet chocolate chips are traditional, but a mix of semisweet and dark chocolate chunks can add depth. Choose good quality chocolate for superior melt and flavor.
How can I tell when classic chocolate chip cookies are perfectly baked to achieve a soft, chewy center?
Bake until the edges are golden brown but the centers still look slightly underdone and pale. The cookies will continue to set and firm up as they cool on the baking sheet.
Can I omit the nuts or substitute them in classic chocolate chip cookies without significantly altering the outcome?
Yes, you can omit nuts entirely; it won't drastically change the cookie's structure, just its textural crunch. If substituting, pecans or walnuts are traditional, but ensure they are roughly chopped to distribute evenly.
