There are few things in this world that taste better than a fresh, homemade chocolate chip cookie. The gooey inside and crispy outside of a freshly baked chocolate chip cookie are enough to make any mouth water. They go great as a late-night snack, a sweet treat during a movie, or pretty much any time at all. By following this simple recipe below, you will be able to make the perfect chocolate chip cookies right from the comfort of your own home.

Ingredients:

• 2 ½ sticks unsalted butter

• 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips

• 2 ½ cups flour

Directions:

• Mix together the butter and sugars until they’re light and fluffy, and then slowly add in the vanilla extract and eggs.

• Fold in the chocolate chips.

• Roll the dough into one-inch balls and place them on the baking sheet two inches apart. Let them bake for 10-12 minutes, or until they’re lightly browned.
