1

Gather Your Ingredients

Make sure you have all the necessary ingredients: - 1 cup of butter, softened - 1 cup of granulated sugar - 1 cup of brown sugar, packed - 2 eggs - 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract - 3 cups of all-purpose flour - 1 teaspoon of baking soda - 1/2 teaspoon of salt - 2 cups of chocolate chips

2

Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

3

Cream the Butter and Sugars

In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. This may take a few minutes, so feel free to bust out those arm muscles!

4

Add the Wet Ingredients

Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.

5

Combine Dry Ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Once combined, gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Mix until just combined.

6

Fold in the Chocolate Chips

Gently fold in the chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough. Try not to eat them all as you go!

7

Scoop and Bake

Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Flatten the dough slightly with the back of a spoon.

8

Bake Until Perfectly Golden

Slide the baking sheet into the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are golden brown. The centers will still be soft, but they'll firm up as they cool.

9

Cool and Enjoy

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the cookies to cool for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Once they've reached a safe, non-tongue-burning temperature, grab a glass of milk and enjoy!
