Ingredients

1 cup (227g) unsalted butter, softened
1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
1 cup (220g) packed brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups (375g) all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups (340g) chocolate chips

Directions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto ungreased baking sheets.
Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may appear slightly undercooked, but they will firm up as the cookies cool.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer them to wire racks to cool completely.
Enjoy your homemade chocolate chip cookies!
