Ready Time

1 hrs 15 mins

Yields

10 servings

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 pure vanilla extract
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl and set aside.

In a large bowl, cream 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 dry ingredients until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

Stir in the chocolate chips.

Drop rounded tablespoonfuls 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.

Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Cool completely on the wire rack before serving.

Notes

For the best results, make sure your butter is at room temperature, as this will help with the creaming process. Don’t overmix the dough, as this can lead to tough cookies.

If you want a chewier cookie, bake for 9-10 minutes, while a crisper cookie will require 12 minutes.

For an extra crispy exterior and chewy interior, bake for 10 minutes, then broil for an additional 30 seconds to 1 minute. These cookies freeze well, so consider storing them in an airtight container for up to 2 months.
