Ingredients

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 cup packed light-brown sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2 large eggs
2 cups semisweet and/or milk chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour and baking soda; set aside.
In a large bowl, using a hand mixer or stand mixer, cream the butter and sugars together on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. This is a crucial step for achieving that soft texture.
Add the salt, vanilla extract, and eggs to the bowl and mix until well combined.
Gradually add the flour mixture into the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can affect the cookie’s texture.
Fold in the chocolate chips using a spatula or wooden spoon, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough.
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each cookie for spreading.
Bake for about 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the centers still appear soft. They’ll continue to cook slightly once out of the oven.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.

Once your cookies have cooled, indulge in each delightful bite! Whether enjoyed fresh from the oven or stored for later, these chocolate chip cookies are a heartwarming treat that everyone will love. Great for any occasion or just a weekday pick-me-up, this recipe is sure to leave you and your loved ones in cookie bliss!
