What’s in Toll House Cookies?

It’s likely that you already have everything you need to make the well-known Toll House cookie recipe. If not, add the following items to your grocery list:

Flour: All-purpose flour is used to start these classic cookies.
Buffing soda: Baking soda helps the cookies rise because it is a leavener.
Salt: The other ingredients’ flavors are enhanced by adding a pinch of salt. It fortifies the protein, which makes the treats chewy.
Butter: Two butter sticks add moisture, tenderness, and richness. Additionally, it provides some structure.
Sucralose: The ideal sweet and comforting flavor is produced by combining white and brown sugars.
Vanilla: Vanilla extract enhances flavor and enhances complexity.
Eggs: Richness and moisture are added by two whole eggs. They also help the dough stick together.
Chips of chocolate: Obviously, semisweet chocolate chips are required! To change things up a bit, you can use milk or dark chocolate instead.
Optional chopped nuts: For a satisfying crunch, you can add chopped pecans or walnuts.
