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 two baking sheets 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 minutes.
- Add salt, vanilla, and eggs, mixing well until everything is combined.
- Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix!
- Fold in the chocolate chips with a spatula or wooden spoon.
- Drop dough by tablespoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart, as they will spread while baking.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are just set. They will continue to firm up as they cool.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy these delightful cookies warm, fresh from the oven, or store them in an airtight container for later enjoyment. They’re perfect for sharing with family and friends, or simply indulging in all by yourself. Happy baking!
