Description
This classic Toll House Cookie Recipe is the ultimate go-to for soft, chewy, golden cookies filled with melty chocolate chips. Perfect for nostalgic cravings, bake sales, or comforting late-night treats.
Ingredients
2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
¾ cup granulated sugar
¾ cup packed brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 large eggs
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup chopped nuts (optional)
2 tbsp extra flour (if omitting nuts)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Add vanilla extract and eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Gradually beat in the dry ingredients until combined.
Stir in chocolate chips and nuts (if using).
Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto prepared cookie sheets.
Bake for 9–11 minutes, until edges are golden and centers are slightly soft.
Cool on baking sheet for 2 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
Notes
If omitting nuts, add 2 tablespoons of extra flour for ideal texture.
Slight underbaking keeps the centers chewy.
You can freeze dough balls for up to 3 months and bake directly from frozen.
