Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1.5 cups brown sugar, packed
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 2 egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.75 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan or in the microwave, melt the butter until just melted and allow it to cool slightly.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, beat the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until smooth and creamy.
Step 4
Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 5
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
Step 6
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Avoid overmixing.
Step 7
Fold in the semisweet chocolate chips to evenly distribute them throughout the dough.
Step 8
Using a large cookie scoop or a spoon, portion the dough into 2-tablespoon-sized balls and place them onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers still look slightly underbaked.
Step 10
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5-7 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
