Classic Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ingredients

• 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• ¾ cup granulated sugar
• ¾ cup brown sugar, packed
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 large eggs
• 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
3. In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
4. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
6. Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
7. Drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
8. Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
