Ingredients

  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour and baking soda.
  • In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, and then stir in the vanilla extract.
  • Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
  • Fold in the chocolate chips.
  • Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto ungreased baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers look slightly underbaked.
  • Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
