Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients:
- 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients:
- 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ¾ cup packed light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Mix-ins:
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
- Combine and Bake: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.

Cool on baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
- For a bakery-style cookie, chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking.
- You can customize by adding chopped nuts or using dark chocolate chips for a different flavor profile.
