- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Cream the Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, beat together softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (2-3 minutes).
- Add the Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each one is fully incorporated before adding the next. Stir in vanilla extract.
- Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
- Fold in the Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
- Scoop and Shape the Dough: Scoop dough into tablespoon-sized balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Space them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake to Perfection: Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden but the centers are soft.
- Let Cool and Enjoy: Cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
Notes
- Ensure butter is at room temperature for easy creaming.
- For extra chewy cookies, avoid overbaking.
- Chilling the dough for 30 minutes before baking can help prevent spreading too much.
