Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup packed light-brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups semisweet and/or milk chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the flour and baking soda; set aside.
- In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the butter and sugars on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the salt, vanilla extract, and eggs to the butter mixture and mix until well combined.
- Gradually add the flour mixture, mixing just until incorporated. Be careful not to overmix.
- Fold in the chocolate chips with a spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the centers are still soft. Remember, the cookies will continue to cook slightly after being removed from the oven.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, these no-fail chocolate chip cookies are ready to be enjoyed. Whether you crave a late-night snack or a sweet treat to brighten your day, these cookies are sure to hit the spot!
