Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 2.25 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar together with a hand or stand mixer until creamy and smooth, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 3
Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.
Step 6
Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips using a spatula or wooden spoon, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Step 7
Using a tablespoon or a cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers still look slightly underbaked.
Step 9
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Serve warm with a glass of milk or store in an airtight container for up to 5 days. Enjoy!
