Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat and Prep: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Combine Sugars and Butter: In a large bowl or stand mixer, cream together melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until creamy.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in eggs and vanilla extract, then add baking soda and salt, mixing until well combined.
- Mix in Flour: Gradually add flour, mixing until a dough forms.
- Add Chocolate Chips: Fold in chocolate chips using a spatula.
- Shape Cookies: Scoop or roll dough into balls (using a small cookie scoop yields about 50 cookies, while a medium scoop yields about 30). Place dough balls on prepared baking sheets. If baking in batches, refrigerate remaining dough.
- Bake: Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden. Do not overbake.
- Cool: Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Melted Butter: Using melted butter helps the cookies spread properly.
- Dough Consistency: If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour.
- Storage: Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 weeks or freeze for longer storage.
