Main
  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

  • 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips

Equipment

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until creamy.
  3. Mix in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
  6. Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
  7. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  8. Bake for about 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

For extra chewy cookies, chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking.
