Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Wet Ingredients
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened Ensure butter is at room temperature
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
Dry Ingredients
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
Mix-Ins
  • 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips Feel free to experiment with different types of chocolate

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  3. In another bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients until just combined.
  4. Fold in the semisweet chocolate chips with a spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
  5. Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop balls of dough onto ungreased baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
Baking
  1. Bake the cookies for 9-11 minutes or until edges are lightly golden. They may appear soft in the center, which is okay.
  2. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a couple of minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For richer flavor, chill the cookie dough in the fridge for about 30 minutes before baking. Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week or freeze for up to three months.
