👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
2. 2

   In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
3. 3

   Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
4. 4

   In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
5. 5

   Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the dough.
6. 6

   Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
7. 7

   Drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
8. 8

   Bake for 9-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft. Tip: For chewier cookies, slightly underbake them! They will continue to set as they cool.
9. 9

   Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
