Ingredients (makes ~24 cookies):
-
1 cup (225g) unsalted butter, softened
-
3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
-
3/4 cup (165g) packed brown sugar
-
2 large eggs
-
2 tsp vanilla extract
-
2 1/4 cups (280g) all-purpose flour
-
1 tsp baking soda
-
1/2 tsp salt
-
2 cups (340g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions:
-
Preheat oven: 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
Cream butter & sugars: In a large bowl, beat softened butter with granulated and brown sugar until creamy.
-
Add eggs & vanilla: Mix in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla.
-
Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to the wet mixture.
-
Add chocolate chips: Stir until evenly distributed.
-
Scoop cookies: Drop tablespoon-sized portions onto prepared baking sheet, spacing about 2 inches apart.
-
Bake: 9–11 minutes, or until edges are golden and centers are set.
-
Cool: Let cookies sit on the baking sheet 2 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Tips:
-
For chewier cookies, slightly underbake (take out when centers look soft).
-
You can swap 1 cup of chocolate chips for chopped nuts if desired.
-
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
