Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Wet Ingredients
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened Use room temperature butter for best texture.
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs Add one egg at a time mixing well after each addition.
Dry Ingredients
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add in the vanilla extract and the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry mixture into the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  7. Using a spoon or a cookie scoop, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving space between each cookie.
Baking
  1. Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown but the centers are still soft.
  2. Remove from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For a chewier cookie, chill the dough for about an hour before baking. Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week or freeze for longer storage.
