Ingredients

• 1 cup (softened) unsalted butter
• 1 cup (packed) brown sugar
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1.5 cups chocolate chips
• 0.5 cup optional mix-ins (e.g., nuts, dried fruit)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Use a hand mixer or stand mixer for best results.

Step 2

Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.

Step 4

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until incorporated. Do not overmix.

Step 5

Fold in the chocolate chips and any optional mix-ins such as chopped nuts or dried fruit.

Step 6

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the dough to an airtight container. Refrigerate overnight (a minimum of 8 hours) to allow the flavors to develop and the dough to firm up.

Step 7

When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 8

Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers look slightly underbaked (they will continue to set as they cool).

Step 10

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
