Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar packed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 cups chocolate chips

Method
 

  1. Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare your baking sheets by lining them with parchment paper.
  2. Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth and creamy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating thoroughly after each, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  3. Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, and salt together. Slowly incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
  4. Drop spoonfuls of dough onto the lined baking sheets, ensuring there's about 2 inches of space between each one. Bake until the edges turn golden brown (10 minutes).
  5. Leave the cookies on the baking sheet for a few minutes to cool, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve with a refreshing glass of milk!
