Units
Scale
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon fine salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and creamy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients and mix just until combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Scoop the dough into portions of about 1 1/2 tablespoons each and place them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden and the centers still look slightly soft.
- Let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool.
Notes
- For thicker cookies, chill the dough for 20 to 30 minutes before baking.
- Do not overbake if you want a soft center.
- Press a few extra chocolate chips on top before baking for a prettier finish.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
