Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (225g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup (150g) brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups (280g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups (340g) chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat 1 cup (225g) of softened unsalted butter with 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar and 3/4 cup (150g) brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Mix in 2 large eggs, one at a time, followed by 2 teaspoons of pure vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, sift together 2 1/4 cups (280g) of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, beating until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  6. Stir in 2 cups (340g) of chocolate chips.
  7. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill the dough for at least 30 minutes.
  8. Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the centers look slightly underbaked.
  10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

[‘Make sure your butter and eggs are at room temperature for easier mixing.’, ‘Chilling the dough prevents excessive spreading and enhances the flavor.’, ‘Pull cookies out of the oven when the centers are slightly soft for a chewier texture.’, ‘Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor.’, ‘Measure ingredients accurately for consistent results.’]
