This Toll House Cookie Recipe is the timeless classic made with butter, sugars, and Nestlé chocolate chips. Perfectly chewy with crisp edges, it’s easy to bake and always a hit for family gatherings or late-night treats.
In a small bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, and salt.
In a large bowl, beat butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla until creamy.
Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Gradually blend in the flour mixture until combined.
Stir in chocolate chips and nuts if using.
Drop by rounded tablespoons onto ungreased baking sheets.
Bake 9–11 minutes until edges are golden brown.
Cool on baking sheets for 2 minutes, then transfer to wire racks.
Notes
For chewier cookies, slightly underbake and let them finish setting on the pan.Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking to prevent spreading.Add a sprinkle of sea salt on top before baking for a sweet-salty twist.
