Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 units large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2.25 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 3
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 6
Fold in the chocolate chips using a spatula or wooden spoon until evenly distributed.
Step 7
Use a tablespoon or cookie scoop to drop dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers still look slightly underbaked.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Serve warm or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. Enjoy!
