Ingredients

  • 2 1/4 cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) Unsalted Butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 3/4 cup Brown Sugar, packed
  • 2 large Eggs
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 1 tsp Baking Soda
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 2 cups Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (350°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each, then stir in vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix until just combined.
  5. Fold in chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
  6. Scoop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing 2 inches apart.
  7. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until edges are golden brown and centers are set. Do not overbake for thick cookies.
  8. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
