1

Gather the Ingredients

First things first, gather all the necessary ingredients. You'll need 1 cup of butter, 1 cup of granulated sugar, 1 cup of brown sugar, 2 eggs, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, 3 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 2 cups of chocolate chips. Don't forget to preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) as well!

2

Cream the Butter and Sugars

In a large bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Pro tip: Use an electric mixer to save yourself some arm workout. It's a win-win!

3

Mix in the Eggs and Vanilla

Beat in the eggs, one at a time, and stir in the vanilla extract. Make sure everything is well combined. Don't be surprised if you find yourself licking the spoon. It's hard to resist!

4

Combine the Dry Ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Slowly add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Be patient, my friend. This is where the magic begins!

5

Add the Chocolate Chips

Now comes the best part – the chocolate chips! Stir in those glorious morsels until they're evenly distributed throughout the dough. Don't be shy with the chocolate. The more, the merrier!

6

Bake 'Em to Perfection

Drop rounded tablespoonfuls of dough onto an ungreased baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Keep a close eye on them, or you might end up with crispy hockey pucks. And nobody wants that!

7

Let Them Cool (If You Can)

Once they're out of the oven, let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes. If you have an iron willpower, that is. Is it just me, or is the smell driving you crazy already?
