Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled For chewier cookies, use 1 cup bread flour + 1 1/4 cups all-purpose.
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt If using salted butter, reduce added salt to 1/4 teaspoon.
Wet Ingredients
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened Can substitute with salted butter.
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup packed brown sugar (light or dark)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs (room temperature)
Add-Ins
  • 2 cups chocolate chips (semisweet, milk, or a mix)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment or a silicone mat.
  2. Whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt in a small bowl. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla until light and fluffy, about 2 to 3 minutes.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  5. Gradually add the flour mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips with a spatula until evenly distributed.
Baking
  1. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between cookies.
  2. Bake for 9 to 11 minutes, rotating pans halfway through if necessary, until the edges are golden and centers look set but soft.
  3. Let cookies cool on the baking sheets for 2 to 3 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.

Notes

For chewier cookies, use more brown sugar than granulated sugar. Experiment with different types of chocolate chips or nuts for variation.
