These cookies are everything you want in a chocolate chip cookie: soft, chewy, and packed with rich chocolate flavor. Get ready to whip up a batch that will have your family and friends asking for seconds!

Ingredients

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

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is smooth and fluffy.
3. Add in the vanilla extract and the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition until fully combined.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
5. Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips using a spatula, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
6. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are golden brown around the edges but still soft in the center.
8. Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

There you have it! Soft, chewy chocolate chip cookies that are easy to make and impossible to resist. Enjoy them while they’re still warm or store them in an airtight container for later. Happy baking!
