The Original Toll House Chocolate Chip Cookies are a timeless American classic—golden, crisp edges with soft, gooey centers. First created by Ruth Wakefield in the 1930s, this recipe is still beloved today. Perfect for family baking, sharing with friends, or enjoying with a cold glass of milk.
Ingredients
2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
¾ cup granulated sugar
¾ cup packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 large eggs
2 cups (12 oz) Nestlé Toll House semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, combine 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.
Gradually beat in flour mixture. Stir in chocolate chips and nuts (if using).
Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto baking sheets.
Bake for 9–11 minutes or until golden brown.
Cool on baking sheets for 2 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
Notes
For chewier cookies, slightly underbake and allow them to finish setting on the baking sheet.
You can freeze cookie dough balls and bake them directly from frozen—just add 1–2 extra minutes to baking time.
