Ingredients
- 1 cup (softened) Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 cup (packed) Brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 units Large eggs
- 2.75 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 cups Semisweet chocolate chips
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your 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, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, using an electric mixer on medium speed.
Step 3
Add the vanilla extract and eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition until fully incorporated.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Step 6
Gently fold in the chocolate chips using a spatula or wooden spoon.
Step 7
Scoop out dough using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, and drop onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing cookies about 2 inches apart.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the centers still look slightly underbaked. Avoid overbaking for softer cookies.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Enjoy your freshly baked cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage!
