Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 units 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 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, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 3
Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated. Then, add the vanilla extract and mix well.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Step 6
Gently fold in the chocolate chips with a spatula or wooden spoon to evenly distribute them throughout the dough.
Step 7
Using a tablespoon or a cookie scoop, drop mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers are still soft.
Step 9
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Serve warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to one week.
