Ingredients:

  • 2 ¼ cups (280g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon (5g) baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon (2g) salt
  • 1 cup (227g) unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup (165g) packed light brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon (5ml) vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 cups (340g) semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Gently fold the chocolate chips into the dough.
  7. Cover the dough and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to prevent spreading while baking.
  8. Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.
  9. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
