Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter softened
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Cream Butter and Sugars:
- In a large bowl, beat softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Add Wet Ingredients:
- Mix in eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
Combine Dry Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually mix into the wet ingredients until just combined.
Stir in Chocolate Chips:
- Fold in chocolate chips gently, making sure they are evenly distributed.
Scoop and Bake:
- Scoop dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing cookies about 2 inches apart. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 9-11 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden.
Cool:
- Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 3-5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
- Optional: Chill dough for 30 minutes for thicker cookies and richer flavor.
- You can mix chocolate chips with dark, milk, or white chocolate.
- Slightly underbaking the cookies helps achieve a soft, chewy texture.
