Dry Ingredients

Chocolate Chips

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it's hot enough to bake the cookies evenly.

  2. 2

    Mix dry ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt until well combined.

  3. 3

    Cream butter and sugars

    In another bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add eggs and vanilla

    Add the eggs one at a time to the butter mixture, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

  5. 5

    Combine wet and dry ingredients

    Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.

  6. 6

    Fold in chocolate chips

    Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips using a spatula or wooden spoon until evenly distributed.

Baking

  1. 7

    Prepare baking sheets

    Line two baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent the cookies from sticking.

  2. 8

    Scoop dough

    Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.

  3. 9

    Bake cookies

    Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is still soft.

  4. 10

    Cool cookies

    Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
