Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

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

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Cream the softened butter with both sugars in a large bowl for about 3 minutes 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 wet mixture, mixing just until combined.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips gently with a spatula.
  7. Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges turn golden brown and centers look slightly underdone.
  9. Remove from oven and let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Use room temperature butter for proper creaming. Measure flour accurately by spooning and leveling. Refrigerate dough if too soft. Rotate baking sheets halfway through baking. Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
