Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup softened unsalted butter, 3/4 cup granulated sugar, and 3/4 cup packed brown sugar using a mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
Step 2: Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then add 1 tsp vanilla extract and mix until combined.
Step 3: In a separate bowl, whisk 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tsp baking soda, and 1/2 tsp salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
Step 4: Stir in 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly with a spatula.
Step 5: Drop rounded tablespoonfuls of dough about 2 inches apart onto ungreased baking sheets.
Step 6: Bake for 9-11 minutes until edges are golden but centers remain soft. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
