Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups chocolate chips

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Cream the softened butter with both sugars in a large bowl until light and fluffy.
  3. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then mix in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing just until combined.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips gently but thoroughly.
  7. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing them two inches apart.
  8. Bake for 9 to 11 minutes until edges turn golden brown and centers look slightly underdone.
  9. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for five minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

Ensure butter is softened properly for the right texture. Measure flour accurately using the spoon-and-level method. Use high-quality chocolate chips for best results.
