Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Dough

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.

  2. 2

    Combine Dry Ingredients

    In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the butter mixture, stirring just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.

  3. 3

    Add Chocolate Chips

    Fold in the chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.

  4. 4

    Shape the Cookies

    Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto ungreased baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

  5. 5

    Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Remove from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
