Ingredients
Scale
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
- In a large bowl, cream together softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in vanilla extract, then eggs one at a time.
- Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Fold in chocolate chips.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto ungreased baking sheets.
- Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until edges are golden brown and centers are slightly soft.
- Let cookies cool on baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For best results, use room temperature butter.
- Do not overmix the dough.
- Chilling the dough for 30 minutes can help prevent over-spreading.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Add a slice of bread to the container to keep them soft.
