Prep: 20 min · Cook: 12 min · Yield: 24 · Method: Oven
Ingredients
- 2.25 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.75 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
Cooking instructions
- Whisk the flour, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl. (about 5 min)
- In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and creamy, about 2 minutes. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla. (about 4 min)
- Add the flour mixture and mix just until no dry streaks remain. Fold in the chocolate chips. (about 3 min)
- Cover and chill the dough for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, heat the oven to 350°F and line baking sheets with parchment paper. (about 30 min) — 350°F
- Scoop the dough into 2-tablespoon portions, spacing them about 2 inches apart on the prepared sheets. (about 5 min) — 350°F
- Bake one sheet at a time for 10 to 12 minutes, until the edges are golden and set but the centers still look slightly soft. (about 12 min) — 350°F
- Cool the cookies on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Repeat with the remaining dough. (about 10 min)
