Ingredients
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to cream the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 4
Add the eggs, one at a time, to the creamed butter and sugar mixture, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients (flour mixture) to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 6
Using a spatula or wooden spoon, fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Step 7
Use a tablespoon or small cookie scoop to drop dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing cookies about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the centers remain slightly soft.
Step 9
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container for up to 1 week, or freeze for longer storage.
