Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup (softened) Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 cup (packed) Brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 units Large eggs
- 2.75 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) 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 until light and fluffy, using an electric mixer on medium speed.
Add the vanilla extract and eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Gently fold in the chocolate chips using a spatula or wooden spoon.
Scoop out dough using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, and drop onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing cookies about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the centers still look slightly underbaked. Avoid overbaking for softer cookies.
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your freshly baked cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage!
