Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set this dry mixture aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until creamy and light in color.
- Add the vanilla extract and eggs to the mixture, beating until well combined.
- Gradually mix in the dry ingredients until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Baking
- Drop generous spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about two inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 9 to 11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers still appear soft.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For elevated flavor, sprinkle a bit of sea salt on top before cooling. Store in an airtight container for up to a week, or freeze for up to three months.
