Preparation Steps

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
• In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
• Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
• Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
• Stir in the chocolate chips.
• Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets.
• Bake for 9 to 11 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft.
• Let cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
