Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened Ensures a rich flavor; coconut oil can be used for a dairy-free version.
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar Adds sweetness without overpowering the cookie.
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar For deep caramel flavor; ratio can be adjusted for chewiness.
  • 2 large eggs Room temperature eggs mix in better for better texture.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Quality matters for flavor.
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour The base for soft, chewy texture.
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda Helps the cookies rise.
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt Enhances all the flavors.
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips Feel free to mix in dark chocolate.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine softened butter with granulated sugar and brown sugar. Beat until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Mix in the eggs and vanilla extract until well incorporated.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually incorporate into the wet mixture until just combined.
  5. Gently fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
  6. Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop mounds of dough onto a lined baking sheet, spacing about 2 inches apart.
Baking
  1. Bake for 10-12 minutes, watching for the edges to turn golden and the center to look slightly underbaked.
  2. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.

Notes

Store cookies in an airtight container for up to a week. Freeze in a zip-lock bag for longer storage. Reheat in the microwave or oven.
