Ingredients
Scale
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour,
1/2 teaspoon baking soda,
1/2 teaspoon salt,
1 cup unsalted butter (at room temperature),
3/4 cup granulated sugar,
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar,
2 large eggs,
2 teaspoons vanilla extract,
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips.
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until creamy and smooth, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add 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 until just combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are still soft.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For an extra chewy texture, don’t overbake the cookies.
You can substitute the chocolate chips with other mix-ins, such as nuts, M&Ms, or raisins, if desired.
