Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. Cream the Butters and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until creamy and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs and vanilla extract until well combined.
  5. Combine Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
  6. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring even distribution.
  7. Scoop the Dough: Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop rounded dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each one.
  8. Bake: Place in the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. The centers may look slightly undercooked—they will continue to set as they cool.
  9. Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.

Notes

Chill the Dough for an even thicker cookie. Use high-quality chocolate for maximum flavor. Experiment with different extracts for unique tastes.
