Ingredients

  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp fine salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Heat the oven Heat the oven to 375°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment.
  2. Cream the butter and sugars Whisk the flour, baking soda, and salt. In a large bowl, beat the butter with both sugars until fluffy, about 2 minutes. Beat in the eggs and vanilla.
  3. Finish the dough Mix in the dry ingredients until just combined. Stir in the chocolate chips. Chill the dough 15 minutes for thicker cookies.
  4. Bake the cookies Scoop 2-tablespoon mounds onto the sheets, spacing them apart. Bake 10 to 12 minutes until the edges are golden and centers look set. Cool on the sheet 5 minutes, then transfer to a rack.
