Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main
  • 2 and 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar packed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, salt, and baking soda until combined.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth and fluffy.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
  6. Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly using a spatula.
  7. Scoop tablespoon-sized dough balls onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them 1 to 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 9 to 11 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
  9. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Use room temperature butter for best mixing results. If time allows, chill the dough for 30 minutes to enhance flavor and texture. For extra flair, sprinkle a bit of flaky sea salt on top before baking. Dough can be frozen in portions for future baking.
