Ingredients
  

Cookie Ingredients

  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened, 2 sticks
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar packed
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 cups chocolate chips semi-sweet or dark for a richer flavor
  • 1 cup powdered sugar for a light, snowy dusting

Instructions
 

  • Start by setting your oven to 350°F (175°C) – getting it warm ensures your cookies bake perfectly.
  • In a medium bowl, gently whisk the all-purpose flour and baking soda together. This makes sure everything is evenly mixed for light, fluffy cookies. Set it aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer (or good old arm power!) to cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and salt until the mixture is light and fluffy. This step creates a wonderful base for your cookies.
  • Beat in the vanilla extract, then add the eggs one by one, mixing well after each. This combines all the wet ingredients beautifully.
  • Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients. Mix until just combined – be careful not to overmix to keep your cookies tender.
  • Fold in the chocolate chips until they're evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  • Drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto ungreased baking sheets, leaving a little space between each for them to spread.
  • Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers look just set. Remember, a slightly underbaked center often means a chewier cookie!
  • Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before moving them to a wire rack to finish cooling completely. This helps them firm up gently.
  • Once cool, give them a light dusting of powdered sugar for that beautiful "winter wonderland" touch. Enjoy your homemade festive treat!
