🥘 Ingredients 1 cup Butter (salted, 2 sticks - softened at room temperature)¾ cup Sugar¾ cup light Brown Sugar (packed)1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract1 teaspoon Baking Soda1 teaspoon Salt2 large Eggs (room temperature)2 ¼ cups All-Purpose Flour2 cups milk Chocolate Chips (12 oz or semi-sweet chocolate chips) Be sure to see the free printable recipe card below for ingredients, exact amounts & instructions with tips! 🔪 Step-By-Step Instructions Please read my tips before starting these cookies. Start out with preheating your oven to 375ºF (190ºC) and line a baking sheet or sheets with parchment paper, if desired. Otherwise, use ungreased baking sheets for these cookies.Combine 1 cup (or 2 sticks) room temperature butter with ¾ cup each of granulated sugar and packed light brown sugar along with 1 teaspoon each of vanilla extract, baking soda, and salt in a large mixing bowl or the bowl of your stand mixer. Cream these ingredients together until smooth and creamy.Add two room-temperature eggs one at a time, beating the cookie dough until smooth after adding each egg. Gradually add the 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour to the dough, mixing until all of the flour has been added and is fully incorporated into the cookie dough.Stir in 2 cups (or a 12-ounce package) of milk chocolate or semi-sweet chocolate chips, whichever you prefer. 1 cup of chopped nuts can also be added to the cookie dough. I usually opt for walnuts if adding any nut variety to my chocolate chip cookies.Portion the cookies out onto your prepared baking sheets in rounded tablespoon amounts, or use a cookie scoop. Drop the cookie dough onto your parchment paper or baking sheets leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.Bake at 375ºF (190ºC) for 9 - 11 minutes, or until the cookies are beginning to show a golden brown color along their edges. Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to set on the baking sheet for 2 - 3 minutes before transferring them to a wire cooling rack to cool completely. 💭 Angela’s Tips & Recipe Notes Although the recipe here is the original recipe, here are some ways to get the best cookies. Chill your dough for at least 1 hour, preferably 2 hours. The fastest way to chill your dough is to form your cookie dough balls, place on the baking sheet, and chill.The orginal recipe from Ruth Wakefield included 1 teaspoon boiling water combined with the baking soda. Then added to the eggs and vanilla.Interesting note: It has been reported that the original recipe also called for 14 ounces chocolate chips not 12 ounces.
🥡 Storing Your Nestle Toll House chocolate chip cookies can be stored in an air-tight container in your refrigerator for up to a week. If you want to freeze your baked cookies, it is best to freeze them in a single layer first, then transfer them into an air-tight container. Pack the baked cookies in layers with parchment paper sheets between the layers. To freeze your dough for later. Scoop out your cookie portions and freeze them in a single layer on your baking sheet. Once frozen, transfer the frozen cookie dough into a sealable freezer storage bag. It’s best to label your cookie dough with the date made and the temperature needed for baking. 🍪 Other Amazing Cookies
