Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
- Add in the vanilla extract and eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently to avoid overmixing.
- Fold in the chocolate chips.
Baking
- Scoop heaping tablespoons of dough onto a lined baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden-brown.
- Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
