Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 48 servings

  • 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 teaspoon baking soda

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened

  • 1 cup white sugar

  • 1 cup packed brown sugar

  • 3 large eggs

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  2. Whisk flour, baking soda, and salt together in a bowl.

  3. Beat butter, white sugar, and brown sugar in a mixing bowl with an electric mixer until smooth. Mix in eggs, one at a time, then stir in vanilla. Add flour mixture and beat just until incorporated. Stir in chocolate chips until evenly distributed. Drop heaping teaspoonfuls of dough 2 inches apart onto the ungreased baking sheets.

  4. Bake in the preheated oven until the edges begin to turn golden, 12 to 15 minutes. Allow cookies to cool for a few minutes on the baking sheets before removing to wire racks to cool completely.

Recipe Tip

If you like firmer cookies, increase the flour by 1/4 cup.
