Method
Preparation
- 1
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it's hot when the cookies go in.
- 2
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. This will help to evenly distribute the leavening agent and salt.
- 3
Cream Butter and Sugars
In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- 4
Add Eggs and Vanilla
Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, add the vanilla extract and mix until combined.
- 5
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Avoid over-mixing.
- 6
Fold in Chocolate Chips
Using a spatula or wooden spoon, gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Baking
- 7
Prepare Baking Sheets
Line two baking sheets with parchment paper for easy cookie removal.
- 8
Scoop Dough
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving adequate space between each cookie.
- 9
Bake Cookies
Bake in the preheated oven for 9 to 11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underbaked, which is fine.
- 10
Cool Cookies
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
