Wet Ingredients:
- 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- ¾ cup brown sugar (packed)
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Additional:
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, cream softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, add vanilla extract, and mix until smooth.
- Mix the Dough: Gradually stir dry ingredients into the wet mixture until combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Bake: Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 9–11 minutes until edges are golden and centers are slightly underbaked.
- Cool: Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For extra chewiness, refrigerate the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking.
- Try swapping chocolate chips for chunks or adding chopped nuts for variety.
- Cookies will remain soft for days when stored in an airtight container.
