Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs

Add-ins

  • 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare baking sheets by lining them with parchment paper or lightly greasing them.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until the mixture is creamy and smooth.
  4. Add Eggs: Beat in the eggs one at a time, making sure each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
  5. Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter and sugar mixture, beating at a low speed until just blended to avoid overmixing.
  6. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Stir in the chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough using a spatula or wooden spoon.
  7. Portion Dough: Drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow spreading.
  8. Bake Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 9 to 11 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the centers still look soft.
  9. Cool Cookies: Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 2 minutes, then transfer them to wire racks to cool completely.

Notes

  • For chewier cookies, slightly underbake them and allow to finish cooking on the baking sheet.
  • Use high-quality chocolate chips for the best flavor.
  • The dough can be chilled for 1 hour for thicker cookies if desired.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
