Enjoy the delicious taste of freshly baked Chick-fil-A-style cookies at home! This easy recipe combines butter, sugar, eggs, and chocolate chips to create soft, chewy cookies with a perfect golden-brown finish. Ideal for any cookie lover craving a sweet, comforting treat!
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter softened (bring it to room temperature for a smooth texture)
- 3/4 cup white sugar
- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar light or dark, your choice!
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract for that rich, comforting flavor
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda helps the cookies achieve a soft, chewy texture and just the right amount of lift
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips or your favorite variety!
- 1 cup chopped nuts optional, for a little crunch—walnuts or pecans are great choices
Pro Tips:
- Room Temperature Butter: Let the butter sit out for a few minutes before starting to ensure it blends smoothly with the sugars giving your cookies that melt-in-your-mouth texture.
- Chocolate Chips: While semi-sweet is a classic choice feel free to experiment with milk chocolate, dark chocolate, or even a mix for a unique twist.
- Nuts: Adding nuts isn’t required but it can elevate your cookies with a delightful crunch. If you're not a fan of nuts, you can skip them without compromising the cookie’s texture.
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven
- Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and let it warm up while you prepare the dough. A hot oven will ensure your cookies bake evenly.
- Prepare the Dry Ingredients
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt until they're fully blended. This ensures the baking soda is evenly distributed, giving your cookies that perfect rise.
- Add the Chocolate Chips and Nuts
- Stir in the chocolate chips and any optional nuts to the dough, mixing gently until well combined. Every bite will have a delightful burst of chocolate and crunch!
- Scoop and Bake
- Drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving space between each one. Bake for about 10-12 minutes, or until the edges turn golden and the middle stays soft and chewy.
- Cool and Transfer
- Allow the cookies to rest on the sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This helps them firm up while retaining their soft, chewy center.
