Ingredients:
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
¾ cup granulated sugar
¾ cup packed brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large bowl, cream together butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth and fluffy.
Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla.
Combine flour, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl.
Gradually blend dry ingredients into the wet mixture.
Fold in the chocolate chips.
Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto ungreased baking sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 8–10 minutes or until edges are golden but centers still look soft.
Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to wire racks.
These cookies freeze well and can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week. For an extra touch, add chopped nuts or a sprinkle of sea salt on top before baking.
