Ingredients
Scale
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 cups chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla.
- In another 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.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes.
- Scoop uniform balls of dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them apart.
- Bake for 10-14 minutes, until the edges are golden but the centers are soft.
- Allow to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For best results, chill the dough for 24-48 hours for enhanced flavor and texture. Use a higher initial baking temperature for taller centers.
