How to Make My Favorite Chocolate Chip Cookies

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter, ¾ cup granulated sugar, and ¾ cup packed brown sugar in a large mixing bowl until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 2 large eggs and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Stir in 2 cups of your favorite chocolate chips.
  7. Drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto ungreased baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.
  8. Bake for 7-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft. For chewier cookies, bake for the shorter time. For crispier cookies, bake for the longer time.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
