- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs, at room temperature
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- In a large bowl, beat the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and creamy.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to prevent spreading.
- Scoop dough onto the prepared baking sheets using a 1.5 tablespoon cookie scoop.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the tops are set and the edges are golden brown.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5-10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Make sure to chill the dough to avoid flat cookies.
- You can freeze the dough for up to 3 months; just bake from frozen.
- Adjust the baking time depending on your oven’s heat intensity.
