Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup packed light-brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 cups semisweet and/or milk chocolate chips

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together flour and baking soda; set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, beat butter and both sugars until light and fluffy. Add salt, vanilla, and eggs; mix until well combined.
  4. Gradually add flour mixture, mixing just until incorporated. Stir in chocolate chips.
  5. Drop dough by rounded tablespoons onto prepared baking sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart.
  6. Bake until cookies are golden around the edges but still soft in the center, 10 to 12 minutes.
  7. Remove from oven, and let cool on baking sheets for 2 minutes. Transfer to wire racks to cool completely.

Notes

For the best results, ensure butter is at room temperature before starting, as this will help create a fluffier texture in the cookies.
