Ingredients: 2 1/4 cups (280g) all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 cup (230g) unsalted butter, softened 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar 3/4 cup (160g) packed brown sugar 2 large eggs 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 2 cups (340g) semisweet chocolate chips Instructions: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. In a large bowl, beat the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until creamy. Add eggs one at a time, then mix in vanilla extract. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until edges are golden and centers look slightly underdone. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Cooking Tips: Use high-quality chocolate chips or chunks for the best flavor. Chill the dough for 30 minutes for thicker, chewier cookies. Adjust the baking time for softer or crispier cookies based on your preference. Add a pinch of sea salt on top of each cookie before baking for an extra touch of flavor. Store baked cookies in an airtight container for up to a week or freeze the dough to bake fresh cookies on demand. This recipe ensures you'll always have a batch of delightful chocolate chip cookies to share—or savor all by yourself!
