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
- Heat the oven Heat the oven to 375°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment.
- 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.
- Finish the dough Mix in the dry ingredients until just combined. Stir in the chocolate chips. Chill the dough 15 minutes for thicker cookies.
