Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Begin by softening the butter to room temperature. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your baking sheets with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Use an electric mixer on medium speed to beat them together until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Then, add the vanilla extract and mix until combined.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring on low speed or folding gently with a spatula until just combined.
  • Gently fold in the dark chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  • Use a cookie scoop or spoon to drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto your baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are golden but the centers still look slightly soft.
  • Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

  • Spatula
  • Baking Sheets
  • Parchment paper or silicone baking mat

Notes

  • Store baked cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days to keep them fresh.
  • Freeze cookie dough balls on a baking sheet before transferring to a freezer bag; bake from frozen adding a minute or two to baking time.
  • For chewier cookies, slightly underbake and cool on the baking sheet.
  • Add chopped nuts or dried fruit for extra texture and flavor variations.
  • Make the recipe dairy-free by substituting butter with dairy-free margarine or coconut oil.
