Ingredients
- 1 cup (225g) unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup (165g) packed brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups (280g) all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups (340g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually blend the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the centers still look soft.
- Remove from the oven and let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Tips and Variations
For extra chewy cookies, try adding an extra egg yolk. If you prefer a crunchier texture, bake a little longer but watch closely to avoid burning. You can also mix in nuts like walnuts or pecans for added flavor and crunch. For a twist, try using dark chocolate chips or even white chocolate chunks.
