No brown sugar? Not a problem! This recipe for chocolate chip cookies without brown sugar is perfect, with only 8 ingredients.

Spatula

Preheat the oven to 350°F/180°C, or 160°C fan oven. Prepare a cookie sheet by lining it with parchment paper or silicone mat and set aside.
In a bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter with the sugar until smooth, light in color and creamy (2-3 minutes).
In a large mixing bowl, beat butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
Add vanilla and eggs one at a time mixing until the eggs are incorporated but don’t overwhip.
Add in the flour, baking soda, and salt and mix again until just combined. Scrape the sides with a spatula so no dry flour is left and the dough is uniform. Fold in the chocolate chips with a spatula so they’re evenly distributed.
Using a small tablespoon size cookie scoop, scoop the dough and place it on the prepared cookie sheets. If desired, add 3-4 extra chocolate chips on top of each cookie. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the edges start to brown.
Remove from the oven, allow to cool on the cookie sheet for 5 minutes then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Use Any Kind of Chips: Milk chocolate chips make these cookies extra sweet, but they're delicious with semi-sweet chocolate, dark chocolate, or white chocolate chips as well.
Other Mix-Ins, like chopped nuts or sprinkles, can also be added. Try not to add more than 2 cups in total add-ins though.
Avoid Overbaking: To keep cookies without brown sugar moist and soft, you should bake them only until the edges start to brown. The center of the cookies will continue to cook as they cool on the pan, resulting in perfection!
The extra chocolate chips on top are optional, but make the cookies look extra special.
There is no need to chill this dough, but if it's particularly warm in your kitchen, you may want to chill it in the fridge for 30 minutes or so before baking.
Storage: Once cooled, you can keep these chocolate chip cookies without brown sugar in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. You can also freeze the cookies for up to 1 month.
