Ingredients for Chocolate Chip Cookies Without Brown Sugar

  • 1 cup granulated sugar – Adds sweetness and creates a crisp texture.
  • 1 cup 2 sticks unsalted butter, softened – Provides richness and a tender bite.
  • 2 large eggs – Helps bind the ingredients and gives the cookies structure.
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract – Enhances the overall flavor.
  • 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour – Forms the base of the cookie dough.
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda – Helps the cookies rise and maintain a light texture.
  • ½ teaspoon salt – Balances the sweetness and enhances flavor.
  • 1 ½ cups chocolate chips – Melts into gooey goodness for the perfect cookie bite.

Optional Add-ins for Extra Flavor:

  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon – Adds warmth and depth to the cookies.
  • 1 teaspoon espresso powder – Intensifies the chocolate flavor.
  • A sprinkle of sea salt – Creates a balanced sweet-salty contrast.

Instructions
 

Preheat and Prep

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Cream Butter and Sugar

  • In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar for 2-3 minutes until light and fluffy.

Add Wet Ingredients

  • Mix in eggs, one at a time, followed by vanilla extract.

Combine Dry Ingredients

  • In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
  • Gradually add this mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring gently to combine.

Fold in Chocolate Chips

  • Use a spatula to fold in the chocolate chips evenly.

Chill the Dough (Optional but Recommended)

  • For thicker cookies, refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes before baking.

Shape and Bake

  • Scoop tablespoon-sized dough balls onto the lined baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are golden brown.

Cool and Enjoy!

  • Let cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Serve warm or store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
