Ingredients
- 1 cup (softened) unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup (packed) light brown sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 2.25 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes using a hand or stand mixer).
Step 2
Add the vanilla extract and eggs, one at a time, mixing on low speed until well incorporated.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Step 4
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the cookies tender.
Step 5
Fold in the chocolate chips gently using a spatula.
Step 6
Cover the dough with plastic wrap and chill it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (up to 24 hours for deeper flavor and better texture).
Step 7
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
Step 8
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers look slightly underbaked.
Step 10
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 11
Store any leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
