Ingredients:

  • 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp (5g) baking soda
  • ½ tsp (3g) salt
  • ¼ tsp (1g) ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup (225g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated white sugar
  • ½ cup (100g) light brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 tsp (5ml) pure vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups (255g) semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions:

  1. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, white sugar, and brown sugar on medium-high speed until the mixture looks pale and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
  2. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  3. Stir in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
  5. Turn the mixer to low and gradually add the flour mixture. Mix only until no white streaks remain.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips by hand using a spatula.
  7. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  8. Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough and place them 3 inches apart on a parchment-lined sheet.
  9. Bake for 12–15 minutes until the edges turn a deep mahogany gold and the centers look set and matte.
  10. Allow cookies to cool on the pan for 5 minutes to firm before transferring to a wire rack.
