Preparation Steps

• Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
• In a small bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, cream together softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
• Beat in the vanilla extract and then the eggs, one at a time, until well combined.
• Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
• Stir in the chocolate chips.
• Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, about 2 inches apart.
• Bake for 9 to 11 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft.
• Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
