Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt Adjust if using salted butter
Wet Ingredients
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened Can substitute with salted butter, reduce salt accordingly
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
Mix-ins
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips Can substitute with dark chocolate chips

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the flour and baking soda; set this aside for later.
  3. Using an electric mixer, cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and salt until the mixture is light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the vanilla extract and add the eggs, one at a time, making sure everything is nicely blended.
  5. Gradually add the flour mixture, mixing until just combined—don’t overdo it.
  6. Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips.
  7. Drop generous spoonfuls of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Baking
  1. Bake for 10-12 minutes, keeping an eye out for golden edges and a slightly underbaked center.
  2. Let them cool on the sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

For a classic experience, pair cookies with cold milk. You can freeze the dough and bake straight from frozen. For bakery-style cookies, ensure butter is softened, not melted.
