Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large bowl, beat 1/2 cup (113g) softened unsalted butter with 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar and 1/2 cup (110g) packed brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
  2. Step 2: Gradually mix in 1 1/4 cups (150g) all-purpose flour until just combined; fold in 3/4 cup (135g) semisweet chocolate chips evenly.
  3. Step 3: Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet about 2 inches apart.
  4. Step 4: Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are lightly golden but centers remain soft.
  5. Step 5: Remove from oven and let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
