Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 3/4 cup chocolate chips added after mixing of two ingredients bowls
Wet Ingredients
  • 3/4 cup butter softened (or 1 and 1/2 sticks of butter)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract

Method
 

  1. Begin by preheating oven to 375 degrees and preparing two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In the first mixing bowl, add in flour, salt, and baking soda only, then whisk together. Set this bowl aside.
  3. Grab the second mixing bowl. If using the standing mixer, keep it running on "Stir" or the lowest setting while adding each wet ingredient in the mixing bowl.
  4. Start with adding both sugars to the mixing bowl with the softened butter. Mix these two together until creamy and fluffy.
  5. Now add in one egg at a time, allowing each egg to be fully mixed into the butter-sugar mixture before adding the other egg.
  6. Next, add in vanilla extract and mix well.
  7. While the mixer is still running on a low speed like 2 or 4, carefully add in the flour-salt-baking soda mixture a little at a time. Combine the wet and dry ingredients well.
  8. Once the wet and dry ingredients are well incorporated, add in 3/4 cup of chocolate chips and mix for about 1 minute on a low speed.
  9. Scoop using a trigger-release ice cream scooper onto parchment paper lined baking sheets. Or about a little more than a tablespoon worth.
  10. Bake at 375 for 11 minutes.
