Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
Wet Ingredients
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter (room temperature)
- 1 cup brown sugar (packed)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
Add-ins
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup crushed Oreos
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt thoroughly; set this mixture aside to incorporate later.
- Cream butter and sugars: In another large bowl, cream together the room temperature unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar using a mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy, which helps create a chewy texture.
- Add eggs and vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, mixing well after each addition to combine fully.
- Combine dry and wet ingredients: Gradually add the dry flour mixture into the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined to avoid overworking the dough and keeping the cookies tender.
- Fold in chocolate chips and Oreos: Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and crushed Oreos, distributing them evenly throughout the dough.
- Portion dough: Using a tablespoon, scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing each scoop about two inches apart to allow for spreading.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until the edges turn golden while the centers remain soft.
- Cool: Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool slightly on the baking sheets before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely for best texture.
Notes
- Make sure the butter is at room temperature to ensure proper creaming with sugars.
- Do not overmix the dough once the flour is added to keep the cookies tender and chewy.
- Spacing cookies two inches apart on the baking sheet prevents them from spreading into each other.
- Allow cookies to cool slightly before removing from the baking sheet to avoid breaking.
- Store cookies in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
