Gather your ingredients to make these delicious cookies.
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a small bowl, mix together the flour and baking soda. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and salt until smooth.
- Beat in the vanilla extract and then add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Gradually mix in the flour mixture until well combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips gently to ensure they’re evenly distributed.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto ungreased baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
- Bake for 9-11 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden, as the centers will continue to set as they cool.
- Let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Tips & Variations
- Ingredient Substitutions: For a nutty flavor, you can substitute half of the chocolate chips with chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans. Use coconut sugar in place of brown sugar for a deeper flavor.
- Optional Variations: Try adding in a cup of dried fruit, like cranberries or raisins, to give your cookies a fruity twist. You can also experiment with different types of chocolate, such as dark or white chocolate chips.
- Storage or Reheating Tips: Store your cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. To refresh their softness, you can pop them in the microwave for a few seconds when you’re ready to enjoy.
