Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Add-ins

  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Prep Your Ingredients: Gather all ingredients at room temperature, especially butter and eggs, to ensure smoother blending and a softer dough.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugars: Beat the softened unsalted butter with brown and granulated sugars until light and fluffy, aerating the dough for tender cookies.
  3. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Incorporate eggs one at a time, then mix in vanilla extract just until combined for maximum moisture and flavor.
  4. Mix Dry Ingredients: Whisk together all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl for even distribution.
  5. Combine and Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gradually blend the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, then gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips without overmixing to keep cookies tender.
  6. Portion and Bake: Use a cookie scoop or spoon to place dough on a lined baking sheet. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 9 to 11 minutes until edges are set but centers remain soft.

Notes

  • Use room temperature ingredients for smoother dough blending.
  • Remove cookies from the oven slightly underbaked; they continue cooking on the sheet.
  • Brown sugar locks in moisture, keeping cookies soft for days.
  • Chill dough for at least 30 minutes to prevent spreading and enhance flavor.
  • Opt for quality semi-sweet or bittersweet chocolate chips for best flavor and melt.
