Ingredients
Scale:
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup unsalted butter, softened (room temperature)
3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 large eggs
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing in the vanilla extract until well blended.
Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
Gently fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
For a softer cookie texture, cover the dough and refrigerate it for at least 30 minutes.
Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Use a cookie scoop or spoon to drop dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spaced about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers are still soft.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
