Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Electric mixer or whisk
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Baking sheets
  • Parchment paper or silicone baking mats
  • Cooling rack

Ingredients

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

Instructions

Preheat the Oven:

  • Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) to preheat.

Mix Dry Ingredients:

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Cream Butter and Sugars:

  • In a large bowl, beat the softened butter with the granulated and brown sugars until the mixture is light and fluffy. This should take about 3-5 minutes.

Add Eggs and Vanilla:

  • Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Mix in the vanilla extract.

Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients:

  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined. Avoid overmixing to ensure tender cookies.

Add Chocolate Chips:

  • Fold in the semisweet chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough.

Prepare Baking Sheets:

  • Line your baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats to prevent sticking.

Portion Dough:

  • Using a tablespoon or a small ice cream scoop, drop rounded portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Bake:

  • Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.

Cool:

  • Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 2 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For the best results, use high-quality ingredients like fresh butter and premium chocolate chips. Avoid overmixing the dough to ensure a tender cookie.
Let the dough rest for 30 minutes before baking for a chewier texture. Don’t forget to let the cookies cool slightly before enjoying!
