How to Make Ben's Chocolate Chip Cookies
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, then stir in the vanilla.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Stir in the chocolate chips.
- Use a small cookie scoop (or a tablespoon) to place rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
