Scale
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Mix dry ingredients: In a bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Cream butter and sugars: In another bowl, mix melted butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until smooth.
- Add eggs and vanilla: Beat in vanilla extract and eggs until well combined.
- Combine dry and wet ingredients: Gradually add dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Fold in chocolate chips: Stir in the chocolate chips.
- Chill the dough: Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
- Preheat oven: Set oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Shape cookies: Scoop dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart.
- Bake: Bake for 10-12 minutes, until edges are golden brown.
- Cool: Let cookies cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
- Chilling the dough enhances flavor and prevents excessive spreading.
- Using bread flour instead of all-purpose can result in chewier cookies.
- Try dark chocolate chips or chopped chocolate for a richer taste.
