Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 2 cups All-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon Baking soda
  • 0.5 teaspoon Salt
Wet Ingredients
  • 1 cup Unsalted butter softened
  • 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
  • 0.75 cup Packed light brown sugar
  • 2 Large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Mix-ins
  • 2 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips

Equipment

  • Baking sheets
  • Parchment paper
  • Large mixing bowl
  • Medium mixing bowl
  • Electric mixer
  • Cookie scoop
  • Wire rack

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
Mixing & Baking
  1. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract until well combined.
  2. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
  3. Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips by hand.
  4. Scoop large mounds of dough (about ¼ cup each) onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving plenty of space between them.
  5. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft.
Cooling
  1. 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.

Notes

For extra chewy cookies, chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. Do not overbake; the cookies will continue to set as they cool. Feel free to use a mix of chocolate chips, like milk chocolate and dark chocolate, for varied flavor.
