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
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- Add-ins:
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup Easter-themed sprinkles
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips and Easter sprinkles until evenly distributed.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto ungreased baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the centers are still soft.
- Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
Notes
- Make-ahead: The cookie dough can be prepared and refrigerated for up to 3 days before baking.
