INGREDIENTS
3 eggs
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup packed brown sugar
3 sticks (1 1/2 cups) unsalted butter, softened
3 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
PREPARATION STEPS
Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or lightly grease them.
Cream the Butter and Sugars:
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
Add the Eggs and Vanilla:
Beat in the eggs one at a time, making sure each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Mix the Dry Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
Fold in the Chocolate Chips:
Gently fold in the chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the dough.
Scoop and Bake:
Using a cookie scoop or a tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake:
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still soft. For chewier cookies, be sure not to overbake them.
Cool and Serve:
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy with a glass of cold milk!
