Equipment
- mixing bowl
- Mixer
- Wooden spoon
- Baking sheet
- Cooling rack
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter 2 sticks
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup white sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Let butter soften on counter for about an hour. Don't melt it.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Line a cookie sheet with foil or parchment paper.
- Cream the butter and both sugars until the mixture is creamy and fluffy.
- Add the two eggs, salt, baking soda, and vanilla. Beat on medium until everything is mixed thoroughly.
- Add the flour and continue mixing. The mixture will be thick, so take your time. You may have to finish by hand if you are using a hand-mixer and it’s having a hard time getting it all mixed.
- Fold in the chocolate chips by hand.
- Use a tablespoon to scoop up a generous scoop of dough and put onto a prepared baking pan, about 2 inches apart. You don’t have to make a perfect ball or flatten them.
- Bake for 15 minutes, checking them at around 12 minutes. Remove from oven when cookies are lightly browned on top.
- Allow cookies cool completely and the chips firm back up before you store them.
