Ingredients
  

For the Cookie Dough
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened Ensure butter is at room temperature for easier mixing.
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup packed brown sugar Enhances caramel flavor if substituted for white sugar.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour Can substitute with gluten-free flour.
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups chocolate chips Can substitute with dark chocolate or white chocolate.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and fluffy.
  2. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition until fully incorporated.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.
  4. Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough.
Baking
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  3. Bake for 9-11 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
  4. Remove the cookies from the oven and cool them on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.

Notes

For soft cookies, slightly underbake them. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheets to prevent breaking.
