Preparation

  3. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter with both sugars until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, folding in gently with a spatula.
  6. Gently stir in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
Baking
  1. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop dough balls onto parchment-lined baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  2. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until edges are golden. The centers may look slightly underbaked.
  3. Let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to wire racks.

Notes

For extra chewiness, chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or freeze for 2 months.
