1
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the cookies.
2
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt until well combined. Set aside.
3
Cream Butter and Sugars
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
4
Add Eggs and Vanilla
Add the eggs one at a time to the butter and sugar mixture, mixing well after each addition. Then, add the vanilla extract and mix until combined.
5
Combine Ingredients
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
6
Fold in Chocolate Chips
Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips into the cookie dough until evenly distributed.

7
Prepare Baking Sheet
Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
8
Scoop the Dough
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each cookie.
9
Bake the Cookies
Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. The centers may look slightly underbaked, which is perfect.
10
Cool the Cookies
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
