Ingredients

Scale

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
1 cup unsalted butter, softened (2 sticks)
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
In a large bowl, cream the softened butter with granulated and brown sugars until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
Beat in eggs one at a time and then mix in vanilla extract until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing gently until just combined.
Fold in chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto lined baking sheets, spacing them at least two inches apart.
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until edges are golden but centers are slightly soft. Allow cooling on wire racks before serving.
