Ingredients
- 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ¾ cup packed light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, using an electric mixer on medium speed, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- (Optional but recommended for best results) Cover the dough and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 24 hours. This helps to deepen flavor and create a chewier cookie.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough (or use a 1.5-inch cookie scoop) onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 9-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft.
- 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!
