Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2.75 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes using a hand or stand mixer.
Step 3
Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then 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 until just combined. Do not overmix.
Step 6
Fold in the chocolate chips using a spatula or spoon, ensuring they are evenly distributed in the dough.
Step 7
Scoop out 1.5 tablespoons of dough (or use a medium cookie scoop) and place them onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers look slightly underbaked. Do not overbake.
Step 9
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Serve warm with a glass of milk, and enjoy your perfect chocolate chip cookies!
