Ingredients
Scale
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups (12 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.

- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto ungreased baking sheets.
