Cookie Ingredients
Method
Cookie Directions
- 1
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that the cookies bake evenly.

Mix Dry Ingredients
In a medium bowl, whisk together 2.25 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tsp of baking soda, and 0.5 tsp of salt. Set aside.
- 3
Cream Butter and Sugars
In a large mixing bowl, beat 1 cup of unsalted butter with 0.75 cups of granulated sugar and 0.75 cups of brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- 4
Add Eggs and Vanilla
Add 2 large eggs and 1 tsp of vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture. Beat until well combined.

Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing.

Fold in Chocolate Chips
Gently fold in 2 cups of semi-sweet chocolate chips into the cookie dough.

Scoop and Bake
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden but the centers are still slightly soft.

Cool and Serve
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
