How to Make Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookies

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) of softened unsalted butter and 3/4 cup granulated sugar (or brown sugar, to taste) until light and fluffy. You can use a hand mixer or stand mixer for this.
  3. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 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 chocolate chips (or more, if you're feeling decadent!).
  7. Drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.
  8. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft. Keep a close eye on them, as oven temperatures can vary.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
