Ingredients
- 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup (165g) brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 2 1/4 cups (280g) all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups (340g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
- Add the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
- Combine the flour, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl. Gradually add to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed through the dough.
- Scoop heaping amounts of dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are lightly golden.
- Cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
Notes
Use room temperature ingredients for easier mixing. Chill the dough for thicker cookies. Do not overbake.
