Ingredients
– 1 cup unsalted butter
– 1 cup light brown sugar (packed)
– 3/4 cup granulated sugar
– 2 large eggs
– 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
– 3 cups all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
– 1 teaspoon baking soda
– 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
– 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (more if desired)
– 1 cup colored chocolate candies (plus extra for topping if desired)
Instructions
1-Preheat oven to 375°F and line two baking sheets with silicone mats or parchment paper to ensure even baking and easy cleanup.
2-Cream together butter and sugars in a large bowl until creamy and fluffy, about 1-2 minutes, for a base that adds moisture and sweetness.
3-Add eggs and vanilla extract, mixing just until combined, to bind the ingredients together effectively.
4-Add flour, baking soda, and salt, mixing just until combined, then fold in chocolate chips and colored chocolate candies to incorporate the fun elements.
5-Using a large cookie scoop (about 3 tablespoons), place dough balls on the baking sheet about 2 inches apart, and add extra chocolate chips or colored chocolate candies on top if desired for a decorative touch.
6-Bake for 7-10 minutes until edges are barely golden brown, then allow to set on the pan for 2-3 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to finish.
