Ingredients
- All-purpose flour: 2 1/4 cups
- Unsalted butter, softened: 1 cup (2 sticks)
- Granulated sugar: 3/4 cup
- Brown sugar, packed: 3/4 cup
- Eggs: 2 large
- Vanilla extract: 2 teaspoons
- Baking soda: 1 teaspoon
- Semisweet chocolate chips: 2 cups
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Step 2: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Step 3: Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- Step 4: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and baking soda. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Step 5: Stir in the chocolate chips.
- Step 6: Drop by rounded tablespoons onto the prepared baking sheets. Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Let cool on baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- To keep these cookies soft and irresistible, store them in an airtight container at room temperature.
- A quick zap in the microwave for 5-10 seconds will make them warm and melty, just like they're fresh from the oven.
- Serve these delightful cookies with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of chocolate syrup for an extra special touch.
- Don't overmix the dough after adding the flour; gently combine until just incorporated to ensure a tender, not tough, cookie.
