How to Make Chocolate Chip Cookies

• 2 1/4 cups (280 g) all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 cup (225 g) butter, softened
• 3/4 cup (150 g) granulated sugar
• 3/4 cup (165 g) brown sugar
• 2 eggs
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 cups (340 g) chocolate chips

1. Heat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two sheet pans with parchment.
2. Whisk flour, baking soda, and salt together.
3. Beat the butter with both sugars until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then the vanilla.
5. Fold in the dry mix just until no flour shows, then stir in the chocolate chips.
6. Scoop tablespoon-sized mounds two inches apart and bake 9–11 minutes, until the edges set but the centers look underdone.
7. Cool on the pan 5 minutes before moving to a rack.

• Chilling the dough an hour deepens flavor and stops spreading.
• Pull them a minute early — carryover heat finishes the centers.
