Ingredients
- 1 cup butter (2 sticks salted butter softened to room temp)
- 1 Β½ cups sugar
- 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs (lightly beaten)
- ΒΌ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 Β½ cups all-purpose flour)
- 2 cups chocolate chips (1 12 oz bag)
Instructions
- Cream the butter, sugar, vanilla extract, baking soda, and salt together in a large mixing bowl or the bowl of your stand mixer until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, lightly whisk the eggs and fully blend them with the butter mixture. Gradually integrate the flour into the cookie dough, mixing until it is completely absorbed. Combine milk chocolate chips and semi-sweet chocolate chips in a mixing bowl.
- Make 1-1 14-inch round balls out of your cookie dough and refrigerate them on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. *For dough chilling choices, see the notes.
- Once the chocolate chip cookie dough has been refrigerated or frozen, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Bake for 10-12 minutes in a preheated oven at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C), or 11-13 minutes if baking from frozen, in the center of the middle rack. When the edges of the cookies are somewhat golden, remove them from the oven.
- Allow 5 minutes for your baked cookies to cool slightly on the baking pan. Then set them aside to cool thoroughly on a wire cooling rack.
Notes
You can chill your dough in a variety of ways. Covering your mixing bowl with plastic cling film, transferring to the refrigerator, and chilling for one hour works.
I recommend a longer chilling period to avoid the ‘spreading’ that cookies without brown sugar are known for. Even better, put the dough in the freezer.
You can chill or freeze all of the portioned dough on one large cookie sheet before transferring to baking pans to bake evenly. If you have enough space, you can alternatively divide the dough onto numerous baking sheets, spacing them out at 2-inch intervals.
