Delicious chocolate chip cookies

Ingredients:

  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup packed light-brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 cups semisweet and/or milk chocolate chips

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the flour and baking soda; set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the butter and sugars on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Add the salt, vanilla extract, and eggs; mix until well combined, scraping the sides as needed.
  5. Gradually add the flour mixture and beat on low speed until just combined.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips with a spatula until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  7. Using a tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown while the centers are still soft. Remember, cookies will continue to cook as they cool!
  9. Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Once cooled, serve these delicious cookies to family and friends, or keep them stored in an airtight container for those moments when you need a little sweet treat. Enjoy your baking adventure and the joy these delightful cookies will bring!
