Ingredients

Scale

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
3/4 cup white granulated sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips


Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
Whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl.
Cream the softened butter, brown sugar, and white sugar in a large bowl using an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until combined.
Fold the chocolate chips into the dough by hand.
Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto a baking sheet.
Bake for 12 minutes or until edges are golden brown.

Notes

Ensure butter is at room temperature to achieve the best aeration. For consistent results, use the spoon and level method to measure your flour. Store in an airtight container at room temperature to keep them soft for several days.
