Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes with a hand or stand mixer.
Step 3
Add the vanilla extract and eggs to the butter mixture. Beat again until well combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
Step 4
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 6
Fold in the chocolate chips using a spatula or wooden spoon, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Step 7
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Step 8
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underbaked but will set as they cool.
Step 9
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheets for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Enjoy these homemade chocolate chip cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage!
