Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour For the cookie base
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda Leavening agent
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened Helps in creating a rich flavor

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter with the brown sugar and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
  4. Mix in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  6. Fold in chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
  7. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper and spread the cookie dough evenly across the pan.
Baking
  1. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, until edges are golden brown.
  2. Allow to cool completely on the pan before cutting into squares.

Notes

Try different toppings like nuts or sprinkles. A sprinkle of sea salt before baking adds a delicious sweet and salty contrast. For chewier cookies, chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking.
