Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened Make sure it's softened but not melted for the best texture.
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
Mix-ins
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips Feel free to substitute with dark chocolate chips for richer flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter with both sugars until smooth and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time, beating briefly after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add the flour mixture in two parts, folding gently until just combined.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
  7. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each.
Baking
  1. Bake for 9-11 minutes, until the edges are golden and the centers look set but soft.
  2. Let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for 3-5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool.
