Ingredients
Scale
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until creamy. Use a stand mixer for best results.
- Add eggs one at a time, then vanilla extract, mixing well after each addition.
- Gradually incorporate dry ingredients into wet ingredients on low speed.
- Stir in chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 9–11 minutes until golden around the edges.
- Let cookies rest on baking sheet for 2 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For softer cookies, bake for 9 minutes. For crunchier edges, bake closer to 11 minutes.
- Use high-quality chocolate chips for richer flavor.
- Storage: Keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
- To keep cookies soft longer, add a slice of bread to the container.
