Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup (2 sticks), softened unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup brown sugar (packed)
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 2.25 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Cream together with a hand or stand mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the vanilla extract and eggs to the bowl, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
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 with a spatula or wooden spoon until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a cookie scoop or a tablespoon, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers still look slightly soft.
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the sheets for 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your freshly baked chocolate chip cookies with a glass of cold milk or your favorite beverage!
