Ingredients
- 1 cup (2 sticks), softened Unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes with an electric mixer.
Step 3
Add the eggs one at a time to the creamed mixture, beating well after each addition. Then stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 4
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing to ensure a soft texture.
Step 6
Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough.
Step 7
Using a cookie scoop or a tablespoon, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden, but the centers are still soft. Do not overbake.
Step 9
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 2 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
Step 10
Serve warm or store in an airtight container for up to 5 days. Enjoy!
