Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 units large eggs
- 2 teaspoons 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 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the chocolate chips using a spatula or wooden spoon until evenly distributed.
Use a tablespoon or cookie scoop to drop dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers still look slightly underbaked.
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. Enjoy!
