For the Dough

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by whisking together 2 1/4 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt in a medium bowl.
  2. In a separate large bowl, beat 1 cup of softened unsalted butter with 3/4 cup of brown sugar and 3/4 cup of granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add in 2 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each, and stir in 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract.
  4. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
  5. Gently fold in 2 cups of chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  6. Cover the dough with plastic wrap or transfer it to an airtight container, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  7. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  8. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop generous tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, until edges are golden brown and centers are soft.
  10. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack for cooling.
