Cookie Ingredients
Method
Cookie Directions
- 1
Prepare the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that the cookies bake evenly.
- 2
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- 3
Cream Butter and Sugars
In a large mixing bowl, beat together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- 4
Add Eggs and Vanilla
Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, stir in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
- 5
Combine Mixtures
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- 6
Fold in Chocolate Chips
Gently fold in the chocolate chips with a spatula or wooden spoon until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- 7
Scoop the Dough
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto ungreased baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- 8
Bake the Cookies
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underbaked; they will continue to cook as they cool.

Cool and Enjoy
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely. Enjoy your delicious cookies!
