That sounds like a beloved, time-tested recipe! While you didn’t mention what
exactly the recipe is for (cookies? cake? bread?), I’ll give you a classic, much-loved
chocolate chip cookie recipe that fits that kind of description — one that people often say has been handed down and adored for decades.
🍪 The BEST Chocolate Chip Cookies (30-Year Family Favorite)
Yields: ~3 dozen cookies
Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 10–12 mins
Total Time: ~30 mins
Ingredients:
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips (or mix of chips & chunks)
- Optional: 1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 2–3 minutes).
- Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually mix dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips (and nuts if using).
- Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop rounded dough balls onto prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until edges are golden and centers are just set (they’ll continue to cook slightly after removing).
- Let cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Pro Tips:
- For softer cookies, remove from oven when centers look slightly underdone.
- For chewier texture, refrigerate dough for 1–2 hours before baking.
- Sprinkle a pinch of flaky sea salt on top just before baking for an elevated flavor.
