These chocolate chip cookies are extra soft, thick, and chewy. This is my FAVORITE recipe for chocolate chip cookies, and they turn out perfect every time! 

Ingredients

• 2 and 3/4 cups (345 grams) all-purpose flour (spooned & leveled)
  
  

• 1 teaspoon baking soda
  
  

• 1 teaspoon salt
  
  

• 1 cup (230 grams; 2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  
  

• 1 cup (200 grams) light brown sugar, packed
  
  

• 1/2 cup (100 grams) granulated sugar
  
  

• 2 large eggs, at room temperature
  
  

• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  
  

• 1 12-ounce package (2 cups; 340g) semi-sweet chocolate chips

Directions

1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheets: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
   
   

2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
   
   

3. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar together on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 1-2 minutes.
   
   

4. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
   
   

5. Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
   
   

6. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Stir in the semi-sweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
   
   

7. Chill the Dough: Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Chilling the dough helps prevent the cookies from spreading too much during baking.
   
   

8. Scoop and Bake: Once chilled, use a 1.5 tablespoon cookie scoop to portion out the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the centers are still soft.
   
   

9. Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
