Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ingredients

• 1 cup butter (softened)
• 1 cup brown sugar (packed)
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 2 egg (large)
• 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 cup chocolate chips (semisweet)

Instructions

1. 1

   Heat the oven to 375°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment.

2. 2

   In a large bowl, beat the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar with a hand mixer until creamy and light, about 2 minutes.

3. 3

   Beat in the eggs one at a time, then the vanilla.

4. 4

   In a separate bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, and salt. Add to the wet mixture and stir on low (or by hand) until just combined.

5. 5

   Fold in the chocolate chips.

6. 6

   Drop heaping tablespoons of dough onto the baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

7. 7

   Bake 10-12 minutes, until the edges are golden but the centers still look slightly underdone. Cool on the pan 5 minutes before transferring to a rack.
