Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

  2. Cream Butter and Sugars

    In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and fluffy.

  3. Add Eggs

    Beat in the eggs, one at a time, until well combined.

  4. Combine Dry Ingredients

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.

  5. Mix Dough

    Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined and no flour streaks remain.

  6. Fold in Chocolate Chips

    Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

  7. Portion Cookies

    Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

  8. Bake Cookies

    Bake in the preheated oven for 9 to 11 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. The centers may appear slightly under baked, which is okay—they will continue to set as they cool.

  9. Cool and Enjoy

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

Note

Ensure your butter is softened but not melted. This helps create a creamy texture in the cookie dough. For softer cookies, bake towards the lower end of the suggested time (9 minutes). For crispier cookies bake closer to 11 minutes. Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature. They can also be frozen for longer storage—just thaw before enjoying.
