Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (227g) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
  • 1 cup (200g) packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups (280g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (170g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup (85g) dark chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
  3. Beat in eggs one at a time, followed by vanilla extract. Mix until combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until combined. Avoid overmixing.
  6. Fold in semi-sweet and dark chocolate chips.
  7. Cover the bowl and refrigerate the dough for 15-20 minutes.
  8. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers look slightly underdone.
  10. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

[‘Chilling the dough helps control spreading and enhances the texture.’, ‘Measure ingredients accurately to avoid dry cookies.’, ‘Pull cookies out of the oven when the centers look slightly underdone—they’ll firm up as they cool.’, ‘You can freeze dough balls for future use and bake fresh cookies anytime.’]
