Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 cup butter ((2 sticks salted butter softened to room temp))
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs ((lightly beaten))
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups chocolate chips ((1 12 oz bag))

Instruction

  • In a large mixing bowl or the bowl of your stand mixer, cream together the butter, sugar, vanilla extract, baking soda, and salt until smooth.
  • Add the lightly beaten eggs and combine thoroughly with the butter mixture. Gradually add the flour, mixing until all of the flour is incorporated into your cookie dough. Fold in milk chocolate chips or semi-sweet chocolate chips.
  • Portion out your cookie dough into roughly 1-1 1/4-inch round balls and place onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and chill. *See notes for dough chilling options.
  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) once the chocolate chip cookie dough is chilled or frozen.
  • Bake in the center of the middle rack in your preheated oven at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 10-12 minutes, or 11-13 minutes if baking from frozen. Remove from the oven when the cookie edges are slightly golden.
  • Allow your baked cookies to cool slightly on the baking sheet, about 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.
