Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Unsalted butter (softened)
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup Brown sugar (packed)
- 2 large Eggs
- 1.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 cups Semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar 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.
Gradually add the dry ingredients from the medium bowl to the wet ingredients in the large bowl. Mix on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the semisweet chocolate chips using a spatula or wooden spoon to evenly distribute them 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 in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the centers still appear slightly underbaked.
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheets for 5 minutes. Then transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
