Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather all ingredients and preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium bowl, whisk together flour and baking soda.
  2. Cream the Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Incorporate the Eggs and Vanilla: Add eggs and vanilla extract to the creamed mixture and mix on low speed until just combined, about 1 minute.
  4. Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients: Gradually add flour mixture to wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
  5. Fold in the Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in chocolate chips using a spatula for even distribution.
  6. Scoop the Dough onto Baking Sheets: Drop rounded balls of dough onto greased or parchment-lined baking sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart.
  7. Bake to Perfection: Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are lightly golden and centers are slightly underbaked.
  8. Cool and Enjoy: Allow cookies to cool on sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to wire racks.
