Ingredients

• 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened

• 3/4 cup granulated sugar

• 3/4 cup packed brown sugar

• 2 large eggs

• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

• 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

• 1 teaspoon baking soda

• 1/2 teaspoon salt

• 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips

Directions

1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

2. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy. This process typically takes about 3-5 minutes.

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

4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.

5. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold the semisweet chocolate chips into the dough, ensuring an even distribution.

6. Shape Dough: Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.

7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the centers remain soft.

8. Cool: Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 2 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
