Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together 1 cup of softened unsalted butter, 3/4 cup of granulated sugar, and 3/4 cup of brown sugar until it’s light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Crack in 2 large eggs and pour in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 1/4 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry mixture into the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix!
  6. Gently fold in 2 cups of semi-sweet chocolate chips.
  7. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop heaping spoonfuls of dough onto ungreased baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the centers are still soft.
  9. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.

Keywords: For thicker cookies, consider chilling the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. You can also add festive sprinkles or experiment with flavors like peppermint extract for a holiday twist.
