Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Step 2: In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tsp baking soda, and 1/2 tsp salt until evenly combined.
  3. Step 3: In a large bowl, beat 1 cup softened unsalted butter, 3/4 cup granulated sugar, 3/4 cup packed brown sugar, and 1 tsp vanilla extract with an electric mixer on medium speed until creamy and smooth, about 2 minutes.
  4. Step 4: Add 2 large eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition until fully incorporated.
  5. Step 5: Gradually beat in the flour mixture on low speed until just combined, then fold in 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips with a spatula.
  6. Step 6: Drop rounded tablespoons of dough about 2 inches apart onto the prepared baking sheets.
  7. Step 7: Bake for 9-11 minutes until the edges are golden but centers remain soft and slightly underbaked.
  8. Step 8: Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
