Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 1/4 cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup Unsalted Butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 3/4 cup Brown Sugar, packed
  • 2 large Eggs
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

Add-Ins

  • 2 cups Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
  • Red, White, and Blue Sprinkles (about 1/2 cup, for festive topping)

Instructions

  1. Prep Your Ingredients: Gather all ingredients and preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Ensure butter is softened to room temperature for easy blending.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, beat softened butter with granulated sugar and brown sugar until light and fluffy to help achieve a chewy texture.
  3. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Mix in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract to infuse warmth into the dough.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients, mixing until just combined to avoid overmixing.
  5. Fold in Chocolate Chips and Sprinkles: Gently fold in semi-sweet chocolate chips and red, white, and blue sprinkles for a festive touch.
  6. Scoop and Bake: Drop dough by spoonfuls onto a parchment-lined baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden but centers remain soft.
  7. Cool and Enjoy: Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to set while staying chewy.

Notes

  • Chill the dough for at least one hour to enhance flavor and control spreading.
  • Use room temperature ingredients for even mixing and a tender crumb.
  • Do not overbake; remove cookies when edges are golden and centers are still soft to maintain chewiness.
  • Opt for high-quality chocolate chips for better melting and richer flavor.
  • Add sprinkles on top right before baking to keep their colors vibrant.
