Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 teaspoons pure 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 two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Use a hand mixer or stand mixer for best results.
Add the vanilla extract and eggs, 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 just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the chocolate chips with a spatula or wooden spoon.
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers look slightly underbaked.
Remove 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 store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week. Enjoy!
