Cuisine: American
Serves: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and baking soda. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream the room temperature butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and salt using an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add vanilla extract and beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition and scraping down the sides of the bowl.
- Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Fold in the chocolate chips using a rubber spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
Tips
- • Use room temperature butter and eggs for the most consistent dough texture • Don't overmix the flour - mix just until ingredients are combined to keep cookies tender • Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking for even thicker cookies • Use a cookie scoop for uniform cookie sizes and professional-looking results • For extra indulgence, sprinkle a few additional chocolate chips on top of each cookie before baking • Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes to help them set properly • Store in an airtight container to maintain maximum chewiness • For best flavor, use high-quality chocolate chips and pure vanilla extract
