Ingredients:

  • 1 cup (225g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 ½ cups (300g) granulated white sugar
  • 2 large (100g) eggs, room temperature
  • 2 tsp (10ml) pure vanilla extract
  • 2 ¼ cups (280g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp (5g) baking soda
  • ½ tsp (3g) salt
  • 2 cups (340g) semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions:

  1. Cream together the softened butter and white sugar on medium-high speed for about 3 minutes until the mixture is light, fluffy, and pale.
  2. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract until fully combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  4. Gradually stir the dry mixture into the wet ingredients on low speed until just combined.
  5. Fold in the chocolate chips by hand using a spatula.
  6. Transfer the dough to the refrigerator and chill for at least 30 minutes to prevent excessive spreading.
  7. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto parchment-lined baking sheets.
  8. Bake for 10–12 minutes until the edges are golden mahogany, even if the centers still appear slightly soft.
