Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350?F (175?C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt until combined.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract using an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition until smooth.
- Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined; avoid overmixing.
- Fold in the chocolate chips gently using a spatula.
- Drop spoonfuls of dough onto prepared baking sheets and bake for 10-12 minutes or until edges are lightly golden but centers remain soft.
- Allow cookies to cool on baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
For thicker cookies with defined edges, chill the dough for at least one hour before baking.
You can substitute half of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour for added nutrition.
Experiment by adding nuts or different types of chocolate chips to customize the flavors.
