Ingredients
Scale
Cookie Dough:
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 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 350°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Cream butter and sugars: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add eggs and vanilla: Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then mix in the vanilla extract.
- Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
- Fold in chocolate chips: Fold in the chocolate chips evenly.
- Bake: Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop dough onto the prepared baking sheets. Bake for 9 to 11 minutes, or until the edges are golden but the centers are still soft.
Notes
- For extra chewy cookies, chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking.
- Use a mix of semisweet and dark chocolate chips for added depth of flavor.
- Slightly underbaking helps maintain a soft center.
