Ingredients

  • 2 ¼ cups (280g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup (160g) packed brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 cups (340g) semisweet chocolate chips

Directions

  1. 1

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

  2. 2

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

  3. 3

    In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until creamy and smooth. This usually takes about 2 minutes using a hand mixer or stand mixer.

  4. 4

    Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Mix in the vanilla extract.

  5. 5

    Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until combined. Be careful not to overmix.

  6. 6

    Using a spatula, gently fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

  7. 7

    Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Space them about 2 inches apart.

  8. 8

    Bake in the preheated oven for 9 to 11 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set but still soft. For a chewier cookie, bake on the lower end of the time range.

  9. 9

    Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
