Method
- Heat the oven to 375°F and line two baking sheets with parchment.
- Whisk the flour, baking soda and salt.
- Beat the butter and both sugars until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in the eggs and vanilla.
- Stir in the flour mixture, then the chocolate chips.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough 2 inches apart on the sheets.
- Bake 9 to 12 minutes until the edges are golden and the centers look just set.
- Cool on the sheet for 5 minutes before moving to a rack.
Kitchen tipChill the dough 30 minutes for thicker cookies with deeper flavor.
