Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup Brown sugar (lightly packed)
- 2 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
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes using an electric mixer set on medium speed.
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Then mix in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the chocolate chips using a spatula or wooden spoon until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers look slightly underbaked. Be careful not to overcook for soft and chewy cookies.
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy the best chocolate chip cookies you've ever had!
