Cuisine: American
Serves: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 cup red chocolate chips
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1 cup blue chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt to ensure even distribution of dry ingredients.
- Gradually add dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Gently fold in red, white, and blue chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the dough.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded portions of dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing cookies about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are golden brown and centers are set but still soft.
- Remove from oven and let cookies cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
Tips
- Room Temperature Ingredients: Make sure your butter and eggs are at room temperature before starting. This helps create a smoother batter and ensures your cookies are fluffy.
- Don’t Overmix: When combining the dry and wet ingredients, mix until just combined. Overmixing can lead to tough cookies.
- Chill the Dough: For even thicker cookies, consider chilling the dough for about 30 minutes before baking. This helps the cookies maintain their shape.
- Watch the Baking Time: Every oven is different! Keep a close eye on your cookies as they bake. They should be golden around the edges but still soft in the center when you take them out.
- Experiment with Chips: Feel free to mix and match the chocolate chips based on your preferences. Try adding some milk chocolate or even white chocolate chunks for extra sweetness!
- Storage Tips: To keep your cookies fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature. If you want to keep them longer, consider freezing them for up to three months.
