Ingredients:
- 1 cup (225g) unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup (150g) granulated white sugar
- 3/4 cup (165g) packed dark brown sugar
- 2 large (100g) eggs, room temperature
- 2 tsp (10ml) pure vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups (280g) all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp (5g) baking soda
- 1/2 tsp (3g) salt
- 2 cups (340g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions:
- Beat the softened butter, white sugar, and brown sugar together on medium-high speed for 2-3 minutes until the mixture is pale and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture on low speed, mixing only until the flour streaks disappear to avoid over-mixing.
- Fold in the chocolate chips by hand using a spatula.
- Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto parchment-lined baking sheets.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10-12 minutes, removing them when edges are golden brown but centers still look slightly underbaked.
- Allow cookies to firm up on the hot pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire cooling rack.
