make some magic happen in the kitchen
0:12
first things first preheat your oven to
0:15
350° F or 175° C this step is crucial
0:22
because we need to make sure our oven is
0:24
nice and hot for our cookies to bake
0:26
evenly and achieve that perfect texture
0:28
a well preheated oven ensures that the
0:30
cookies will cook through properly

without burning the edges or leaving the
0:34
center undercooked now let's gather our
0:37
ingredients having everything ready and
0:39
measured out will make the process
0:40
smooth and enjoyable you'll need one cup
0:43

cup of white sugar this will give our
0:50
cookies that classic sweetness one cup
0:53
of packed brown sugar it adds a rich
0:55
molasses-like flavor and helps keep the
0:57
cookies chewy two large eggs which will
1:00
bind everything together two teaspoons
1:02
of vanilla extract this will enhance all
1:04
the flavors and give our cookies a
1:06
wonderful aroma three cups of allpurpose
1:09
flour this is the base of our dough and
1:11
will give structure to our cookies one
1:14

1:40
white sugar and brown sugar until it's
1:42
smooth and fluffy this step is essential
1:45
for creating a light and airy dough this
1:47
should take about 2 minutes on medium
1:49
speed be patient and let the mixer do
1:51
its job next beat in the eggs one at a
1:54
time making sure each egg is fully
1:56
incorporated before adding the next this

ensures a smooth and consistent dough
2:01
add in the vanilla extract and give it a
2:03
good mix the vanilla will blend all the
2:05
flavors together beautifully in a small

all the flavors in the cookies now
2:25
gradually mix in the flour don't rush
2:27
this part adding the flour slowly
2:30
ensures that it gets evenly distributed
2:32
and prevents the dough from becoming too
2:34
dense it ensures your dough is smooth
2:36
and well combined which is key for
2:38
perfect cookies once your dough is ready
2:40
fold in the chocolate chips make sure to
2:43
distribute them evenly throughout the

cookie a delightful treat using a
2:51
tablespoon scoop out the dough onto
2:53
ungreased baking sheets this will help
2:55
you get evenly sized cookies leave about
2:58
2 in of space between each cookie this
3:00
gives them room to spread out as they
3:01
bake and prevents them from sticking
3:03
together this spacing is crucial for
3:05
achieving that perfect cookie shape and
3:07
texture pop those baking sheets into the
3:09
oven and bake for about 10 minutes or
3:11
until the edges are nicely browned the
3:13
center should still be soft remember
3:16
every oven is different so keep an eye
3:18
on them you don't want to overbake them
3:21
once they're done take them out and let
3:23
them cool on the baking sheets for a
3:24
couple of minutes this allows them to
3:26
set and makes them easier to transfer
3:29
then transfer them to wire racks to cool
3:31
completely this step is important for
3:33
achieving the perfect texture and there
