Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 1 cup (200g) brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups (280g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups (270g) chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup (226g) of softened unsalted butter, 3/4 cup (150g) of granulated sugar, and 1 cup (200g) of brown sugar. Beat with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add 2 large eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk 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 into the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  6. Gently fold in 1 1/2 cups (270g) of chocolate chips using a spatula.
  7. Scoop out portions of dough using a tablespoon or cookie scoop. Roll into balls and place them on the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes. The edges should be golden, but the centers will still look slightly underbaked.
  9. Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.

Notes

[‘Make sure your butter and eggs are at room temperature for smooth blending.’, ‘Avoid overmixing the dough to keep the cookies soft.’, ‘Chill the dough for 30 minutes if your kitchen is warm to prevent spreading.’, ‘Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats for easy cleanup.’, ‘Monitor baking time closely to ensure soft centers and crispy edges.’]
