Ingredients
You will need the following ingredients for this recipe: 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, 3/4 cup granulated sugar, 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, 2 large eggs, 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips.
Instructions
To make this recipe, preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. In a separate bowl, cream together the butter and both sugars until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla and eggs, one at a time, until combined. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until combined. Stir in the chocolate chips. Cover the bowl and chill the dough for at least two hours.
Once the dough has chilled, scoop about 2 tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
