Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 2 item large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 2.25 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and 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 using a hand or stand mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Then, mix in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined.
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 cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown and the centers still look slightly underbaked.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy the nostalgic, homemade taste of these classic chocolate chip cookies!
