Description

These Christmas Chocolate Chip Cookies are a perfect blend of classic chocolate chip goodness with a festive holiday twist. Soft and chewy with gooey chocolate chips in every bite, these cookies are made even more festive with red and green sprinkles. They’re a simple yet joyful treat that brings out the spirit of the season with every bite.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup red and green holiday sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then mix in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  5. Gently fold in the chocolate chips and holiday sprinkles until evenly distributed.
  6. Drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing each about 2 inches apart.
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are golden but centers remain soft.
  8. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Softened Butter: Make sure your butter is softened but not melted for the best cookie texture.
  • Avoid Overmixing: Stir the flour mixture into the dough just until combined to keep the cookies tender.
  • Bake Time: For soft, chewy cookies, don’t overbake. The centers should still look slightly undercooked when you remove them from the oven.
