Scale
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup packed light-brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups semisweet and/or milk chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, whisk together the flour and baking soda; set aside.
- In a large bowl, beat the butter and both sugars on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2–3 minutes.
- Add salt, vanilla extract, and eggs. Mix until well combined.
- Gradually add the flour mixture and mix just until incorporated.
- Fold in the chocolate chips using a spatula.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are golden but centers are still soft.
- Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For crispier cookies, bake an additional 2 minutes.
- Dough can be chilled for 30 minutes to prevent spreading.
- You can freeze cookie dough for up to 3 months.
