Instructions

Step 1: Preheat & Prep

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2: Cream the Butter and Sugars

In a large bowl, beat butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy (about 2 minutes).

Step 3: Add the Eggs & Vanilla

Mix in the eggs one at a time, then add the vanilla extract and stir until combined.

Step 4: Combine Dry Ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Slowly add this mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.

Step 5: Fold in the Chocolate Chips

Gently stir in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.

Step 6: Scoop & Bake

  • Drop tablespoon-sized dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.

Step 7: Cool & Enjoy

Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack. Enjoy warm or store in an airtight container for later!


Baking Tips & Variations

✔️ For extra chewy cookies – Add an extra egg yolk for a richer texture.
✔️ For crispy cookies – Use more granulated sugar and bake for an extra minute.
✔️ For chunkier cookies – Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking.
✔️ Add a twist – Try mixing in walnuts, pecans, or white chocolate chips for variety!
