Irresistible Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ingredients

- 1 cup butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 cups chocolate chips

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

2. Cream Butter and Sugars
In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of softened butter, 1 cup of packed brown sugar, and 1/2 cup of granulated sugar. Use an electric mixer on medium speed to cream the mixture until it is light and fluffy, approximately 2-3 minutes.

3. Add Vanilla and Eggs
Add 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract to the creamed mixture. Then, add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition until fully incorporated.

4. Combine Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 1/4 cups of all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon of baking soda. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed just until combined.

5. Fold in Chocolate Chips
Gently fold in 2 cups of chocolate chips using a spatula, ensuring an even distribution throughout the cookie dough.

6. Scoop and Arrange
Use a tablespoon or small cookie scoop to drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie to allow space for spreading.

7. Bake
Bake in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the cookies are golden brown around the edges but still soft in the center. Keep a close eye to avoid over-baking.

8. Cool and Enjoy
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve and enjoy your delicious homemade cookies!
