Servings 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter, softened leave on counter for 2 hours prior to baking until soft but still firm
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 cup light brown sugar tightly packed
- 2 large eggs room temperature
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 cups flours measured correctly
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and line your baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, cream together the softened butter, sugar, and light brown sugar for 3-5 minutes until light and creamy. Scrape down the sides as needed, making sure everything is incorporated.
- Add the room-temperature eggs one at a time, beating after each addition and scraping down the sides as needed. Mix in the vanilla extract.
- Whisk together the flour, salt, and baking soda in a separate medium mixing bowl. Slowly mix the flour into the creamed butter, scraping down the sides as needed. Once all the flour is incorporated, fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
- Use an ice cream scoop, about 3 tablespoons big(for large cookies), to scoop out the dough and place on your lined baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Press down the tops slightly. This will make around 24 cookies. Bake cookies right away or cover dough and store in the refrigerator until ready to bake.
- Bake the cookies at 350°F for about 10 minutes or just until the edges are turning slightly brown. The middle of the cookie will look under-baked. Let the cookies rest for 5 minutes on the baking sheet until transferring them to a cooling rack. Enjoy!
