Wet Ingredients

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour and baking soda. Set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and salt. Beat until light and fluffy—around 2-3 minutes.
  4. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
Mixing and Baking
  1. Gradually mix the flour mixture into the wet ingredients until just combined, being careful not to over-mix.
  2. Fold in the chocolate chips gently.
  3. Drop rounded tablespoons of batter onto a lined baking sheet, spacing them apart.
  4. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until golden around the edges and slightly soft in the center.
Cooling
  1. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. For longer storage, freeze in a single layer and transfer to a freezer-safe bag. Reheat in the microwave for 10-15 seconds.
