Chocolate Chip Cookies

Chocolate chip cookies with milk
These classic chocolate chip cookies are soft, chewy, and easy for kids to help make. With simple pantry ingredients and plenty of chocolate chips, they are perfect for family baking days, lunchbox treats, holidays, and cookie exchanges.

Ingredients

  • 2 1/4 cups flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 sticks margarine or 1 cup oil
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla sugar
  • 1 teaspoon water
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup chocolate chips or 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips

Directions

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, margarine or oil, sugar, brown sugar, vanilla sugar, water, and eggs. Mix until smooth and well combined. Slowly stir in the chocolate chips while mixing. Refrigerate the dough for 1 hour to help it firm up. Preheat oven to 375°F. Scoop spoonfuls of dough onto a baking sheet, leaving space between cookies. Bake for approximately 11 minutes or until lightly golden around the edges. Allow cookies to cool slightly before serving.
Yield: About 2 to 3 dozen cookies depending on size.

Kid Cooking Tip

Kids can measure ingredients, stir in chocolate chips, scoop cookie dough, and help place cookies onto baking sheets.

Variation Ideas

Try mini chocolate chips, chopped nuts, white chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, oatmeal, or colorful candy pieces.

Serving Ideas

Serve warm with milk, pack into lunchboxes, add to dessert trays, or freeze extra dough for later baking.
Cookie Baking Tip: Chilling the dough before baking helps create thicker cookies with softer centers and chewy texture.
