For the Dough

  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Opt for pure vanilla for the best results.
  • 2 Eggs Use flax eggs for a vegan choice.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the eggs and vanilla extract until the mixture is creamy and well-blended.
  5. Gradually incorporate the dry ingredient mixture into the creamed butter and sugars. Mix just until combined.
  6. Gently fold in the chocolate chips (and any optional add-ins) until evenly distributed.
  7. Drop dough portions onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 9-11 minutes, looking for golden edges and soft centers.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 2 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
