  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda For that perfect rise.
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened Use room temperature butter to make the mixing easier.
  • 1 cup granulated sugar A little sweetness to balance the flavors.
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar Adds that rich, caramel-like depth.
  • 1 teaspoon salt Enhances the sweetness of the chocolate.
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract For fragrance and flavor.
  • 2 large eggs To bind all the ingredients together.
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips Feel free to swap with dark chocolate or add some walnuts.

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

  3. In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and salt together until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, folding gently until just combined.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips.
  7. Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Baking

  2. Remove from oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

These cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. For longer storage, freeze them for up to three months. Reheat in the microwave for that fresh-baked feel.
