A precise blend of granulated and brown sugars provides the ideal balance of moisture and caramelized sweetness. These cookies are easy to prepare, stay soft for days, and are the perfect canvas for your favorite additions.
Ingredients
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp fine sea salt
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
2 large eggs, room temperature
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 3/4 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
Whisk the flour, baking soda, and salt together in a medium bowl.
Beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar in a large bowl until creamy and fluffy.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Stir in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips by hand.
Scoop dough onto prepared sheets and bake for 12 minutes or until edges are golden.
Notes
Ensure your butter is at room temperature for the best creaming results. For a chewier cookie, chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking. Store in an airtight container to keep them soft for several days.
