The Cookie Everyone Falls in Love With After the First Bite

Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips

Instructions

1. Prepare. Heat the oven to 175°C / 350°F and line baking trays with parchment paper.
2. Cream butter and sugars. Beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and creamy.
3. Add eggs and vanilla. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla.
4. Add dry ingredients. Whisk flour, baking soda, and salt separately. Add to the wet mixture and mix only until combined.
5. Fold and portion. Fold in chocolate chips. Scoop rounded portions onto the trays, leaving room to spread.
6. Bake and cool. Bake for 9–12 minutes, until the edges are golden but the centers still look soft. Rest on the tray for 5 minutes before moving to a rack.
