  • Total Time: 24-26 minutes
  • Yield: 24 cookies

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until creamy.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Mix in vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough.
  7. Drop dough by tablespoonfuls onto prepared baking sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 9-11 minutes, until edges are golden and centers are still soft.
  9. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely and stay chewy.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, consider adding toasted nuts or a sprinkle of sea salt.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes to enhance chewiness.
  • Use high-quality vanilla extract for the best taste.
