- Measuring cups and spoons
- Cookie sheet or baking tray
- Parchment paper or silicone baking mat (optional)
- Cooling rack
Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup 2 sticks salted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, use an electric mixer (or by hand) to beat together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth and creamy.
- Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, until well incorporated.
- Gradually add the flour mixture into the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Stir in the semi-sweet chocolate chips. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spaced about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown on the edges but soft in the center. Let the cookies cool on the sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
