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