The Classic Treat, Made Even Better with Parchment
Few things in life are as comforting as a warm chocolate chip cookie straight out of the oven. But if you’ve ever had cookies stick, burn, or bake unevenly, you know how frustrating it can be. The secret? Parchment paper.
Parchment creates a nonstick, evenly heated surface that helps cookies bake to golden perfection—crispy edges, gooey centers, and no mess left behind.

Instructions
Step 1: Preheat your oven.
Heat to 350°F (175°C).
Step 2: Mix the dough.
Cream butter and sugars until fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla. Mix in flour, baking soda, and salt. Stir in chocolate chips.
Step 3: Line your pans.
Place parchment paper on baking sheets—this ensures cookies bake evenly and won’t stick.
Step 4: Bake.
Scoop spoonfuls of dough onto parchment and bake for 10–12 minutes, until edges are golden brown.
Step 5: Cool & enjoy.
Remove the baking sheet and place on a wire cooling rack. Cookies will slide off effortlessly thanks to the parchment.

✨ Pro Tip: For thick bakery-style cookies, chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking—parchment will keep them from spreading too much.
