With a delicate balance of crunch and chew, these classic cookies are sure to become a favorite in your household.

Ingredients

• 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
• 3/4 cup white granulated sugar
• 3/4 cup brown sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.

Set aside. In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.

Gradually mix in the flour mixture until just combined, being careful not to overmix. Stir in the chocolate chips.

Use a medium cookie scoop (about 2 tablespoons of dough) to drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.

Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown and the centers are set. Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Yield: 9 cookies

Notes

Use high-quality chocolate chips for the best flavor.

For a chewier cookie, bake for 9-10 minutes, and for a crisper cookie, bake for 12-13 minutes.

If you want a more pronounced vanilla flavor, use 3 teaspoons of vanilla extract instead of 2.

You can also chill the dough for up to 24 hours if you’re not ready to bake immediately.

These cookies are best served fresh, but they can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
