Ingredients
Scale:
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup brown sugar, packed
½ cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Mix dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
Cream the butter and sugars: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter with both sugars until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add eggs and vanilla: Incorporate the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then add the vanilla extract and mix until combined.
Combine wet and dry ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined.
Fold in chocolate chips: Gently fold in the chocolate chips using a rubber spatula.
Chill the dough: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Scoop the cookies: Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop generous amounts of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.
Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
