Ingredients

• 170 grams Unsalted butter
• 100 grams Granulated sugar
• 150 grams Brown sugar (light or dark)
• 2 large Eggs
• 2 teaspoons Pure vanilla extract
• 315 grams All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 300 grams Chocolate chips (semi-sweet or milk)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

Melt the unsalted butter in a saucepan or microwave, ensuring it is fully melted but not boiling, then let it cool slightly for 5 minutes.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Whisk together until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

Step 4

Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.

Step 5

In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula or wooden spoon just until combined. Do not overmix.

Step 7

Fold in the chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the dough.

Step 8

Using a cookie scoop or spoon, portion the dough into 2-tablespoon-sized balls and place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers look slightly underbaked. Avoid overbaking for softer cookies.

Step 10

Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Serve warm or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
