Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Classic Soft Chocolate Chip Cookies
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, and ½ teaspoon of salt.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine ¾ cup of softened unsalted butter, ¾ cup of granulated sugar, and ¾ cup of brown sugar. Beat until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Add in 1 large room-temperature egg and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, mixing well after each addition.
  5. Gradually stir the dry ingredient mixture into your creamed butter and sugar mixture until just combined.
  6. Gently fold in 2 cups of semi-sweet chocolate chips.
  7. Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto ungreased baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each scoop.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges turn lightly golden.
  9. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
