Ready In: 30 mins
Yields: 3-4 dozen
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup light brown sugar, firmly packed
- 1⁄2 cup white sugar
- 1 1⁄2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3⁄4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
- 3 cups chocolate chips, can use coarsely chopped semisweet chocolate
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Stack 2 baking sheets together and line top sheet with parchment paper. (The author recommends double sheeting when baking cookies "so there's a cushion for even baking and no risk of scorched bottoms.").
- In a mixer bowl, cream butter and both sugars until very smooth, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add vanilla and eggs and blend well.
- Fold in flour, baking soda, and salt and mix well, about 2 to 3 minutes.
- Fold in chocolate chips.
- For each cookie, scoop 2-3 tablespoons of dough and place on prepared baking sheets, spacing 2 inches apart.
- Bake 10-13 minutes for smaller cookies OR 14-18 minutes for large ones.
- Cookies are done when they are just browned around the edges, are beginning to color on top, and seem dry to the touch.
- Let cool on the baking sheets.
