Ingredients:

• 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
• 3/4 cup white sugar
• 3/4 cup brown sugar
• 2 eggs
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 375 °F (190 °C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.

3. In a separate large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, white sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.

4. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

5. Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.

6. Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

7. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Allow the cookies to cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips:

• For best results, use room temperature butter. This will make it easier to cream the butter and sugar together, resulting in a lighter and fluffier dough.
• Be careful not to overmix the dough. Over mixing can result in tough cookies.
• If you prefer your cookies to be thicker, chill the dough for at least an hour before baking.
• For a fun twist, try adding chopped nuts, dried fruit, or coconut to the dough.
