Units
Scale
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips or chunks
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
- In a large bowl, beat softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
- Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
- Fold in chocolate chips or chunks.
- Scoop dough into 1.5-tablespoon balls and place on baking sheets, spacing 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, until edges are golden and centers are just set.
- Let cookies cool on the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
Notes
- Use a slice of bread in your storage container to keep cookies soft.
- Chilling the dough is optional but helps prevent spreading and improves flavor.
- Microwave for a few seconds to restore that fresh-from-the-oven gooeyness.
