Ingredients
Scale
Cookie Dough:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Cream butter and sugars: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add eggs and vanilla: Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each, then mix in the vanilla extract.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined.
- Combine chocolate chips: Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Bake: Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart. Bake for 9–11 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers look slightly underbaked.
- Cool: Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For softer cookies, remove them from the oven when the centers are still slightly doughy.
- Dough can be chilled for thicker cookies or frozen for later use.
- Add chopped nuts or mix dark and milk chocolate chips for variation.
