Ingredients:
– 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
– 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
– 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
– 1/2 cup granulated sugar
– 1 cup packed light-brown sugar
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
– 2 large eggs
– 2 cups semisweet and/or milk chocolate chips
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour and baking soda. Set aside.
3. In a separate large bowl, beat the softened butter with both the granulated sugar and light-brown sugar until it is light and fluffy. This will take approximately 2 to 3 minutes using an electric mixer on medium speed.
4. Add the salt, vanilla extract, and eggs (one at a time) into the butter mixture, making sure to mix well after each addition.
5. Gradually add in the dry ingredients (flour and baking soda mixture) into the wet ingredients. Mix just until combined, being careful not to overmix.
6. Fold in the chocolate chips using a wooden spoon or spatula until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
7. Scoop out heaping tablespoons of dough and place onto the prepared baking sheets, ensuring there is enough space between each cookie for expansion during baking.
8. Bake the cookies for 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown on the edges but still soft in the center. Keep an eye on them while they bake, as oven temperatures may vary.
9. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Enjoy your cakey chocolate chip cookies with a glass of cold milk or your favorite warm beverage.
