Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened (or coconut oil for dairy-free)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour (or half whole wheat flour)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Method
 

Preparation

  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually blend into the wet ingredients until fully combined.
  5. Fold in the chocolate chips.
  6. Scoop tablespoons of dough onto the prepared sheets, spacing 2 inches apart.
Baking
