Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (227g) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup (200g) brown sugar
- ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 2 ¾ cups (345g) all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 cups (340g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together 1 cup (227g) of unsalted butter, 1 cup (200g) of brown sugar, and ½ cup (100g) of granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
- Add 2 large eggs, one at a time, mixing until incorporated. Stir in 2 teaspoons of pure vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ¾ cups (345g) of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, and ½ teaspoon of salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Fold in 2 cups (340g) of semi-sweet chocolate chips gently with a spatula.
- Scoop out about 1-2 tablespoons of dough per cookie and roll them into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers look slightly underbaked.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
Notes
[‘Use room-temperature butter for the perfect texture.’, ‘Measure flour accurately using the spoon-and-level method to avoid dense cookies.’, ‘Chill the dough for 30 minutes if it feels too soft or spreads too much.’, ‘Pull cookies out of the oven when edges are golden but centers are slightly underbaked.’, ‘Use quality chocolate chips for the best flavor.’]
