Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ¾ cup packed brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups chocolate chips (milk chocolate or dark chocolate, or a mix!)
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper. This prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
- Step 2: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Use an electric mixer for best results. This incorporates air and makes the cookies light and chewy.
- Step 3: Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract. Make sure everything is well combined.
- Step 4: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Step 5: Stir in the chocolate chips.
- Step 6: Drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.
- Step 7: Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Keep a close eye on them to prevent burning.
- Step 8: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy your Minecraft-worthy cookies!
Notes
- Store these delicious cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or freeze them for longer storage.
- For a warm, gooey center, reheat individual cookies in the microwave for 10-15 seconds.
- Serve these Minecraft Cookies alongside a glass of cold milk for the ultimate gaming snack.
- To achieve extra-chewy cookies, use slightly less flour than the recipe calls for – but be careful not to make them too wet!
