The Mrs. Fields Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe is a time-tested classic that has delighted cookie lovers for decades.
Equipment
- Large mixing bowl
- Electric mixer (hand or stand mixer)
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Baking sheets
- Parchment paper or silicone baking mats
- Wire cooling rack
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup chopped nuts (optional, for added crunch)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy using an electric mixer.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, mixing well after each addition.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Stir in the semisweet chocolate chips and chopped nuts (if using) until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving enough space between each cookie for slight spreading.
- Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 9 to 11 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may still appear slightly undercooked, but they will firm up as they cool.
- Remove the baking sheets from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to wire cooling racks to cool completely.
