Chocolate Chip Cookies

They're fast, easy, chocolatey and fluffy - these sweet treats are the definition of cozy comfort food. With a soft center and crispy edges, they offer the best of both worlds.

Step 1:

Evenly position 2 racks in the middle of the oven and preheat to 375 degrees F (on convection setting if you have it).
Step 2:

Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone sheets. (If you only have 1 baking sheet, let it cool completely between batches.).
Step 3:

Put the butter in a microwave-safe bowl, cover and microwave on medium power until melted. (Alternatively melt in a small saucepan.) Cool slightly. Whisk the sugars, eggs, butter, and vanilla in a large bowl until smooth.
Step 4:

Whisk the flour, baking soda, and salt in another bowl.
Step 5:

Stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients with a wooden spoon; take care not to over mix.
Step 6:

Stir in the chocolate chips or chunks.
Step 7:

Scoop heaping tablespoons of the dough onto the prepared pans. Wet hands slightly and roll the dough into balls. Space the cookies about 2 inches apart on the pans.
Step 8:

Bake, until golden, but still soft in the center, 12 to 16 minutes, depending on how chewy or crunchy you like your cookies. Transfer hot cookies with a spatula to a rack to cool. Serve.
