Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
Wet Ingredients
  • 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 3/4 cup packed brown sugar Can substitute with granulated sugar.
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
Chocolate Chips
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips Can swap for dark chocolate if desired.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat the softened butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Add eggs one at a time and mix in vanilla extract until well combined.
  5. Gradually fold in the dry ingredients until just combined; avoid overmixing.
  6. Gently stir in the chocolate chips.
Baking
  1. Drop spoonfuls of dough onto ungreased baking sheets about two inches apart.
  2. Bake for 10-12 minutes until golden around the edges but still soft in the center.
  3. Cool slightly before transferring to wire racks.

Notes

Chilling the dough for at least 30 minutes can enhance flavor and texture. Store cookies in an airtight container for up to a week. Reheat in the microwave for 10-15 seconds.
