Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup packed light brown sugar
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 2.25 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, beat the room-temperature butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until creamy and smooth, about 2-3 minutes. Use an electric mixer if available.
Step 3
Add the eggs, one at a time, to the butter mixture, beating 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 mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
Step 6
Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips with a spatula or wooden spoon until evenly distributed.
Step 7
Using a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop, drop rounded dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden, and the centers look slightly underbaked. They will firm up as they cool.
Step 9
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Serve warm or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
