Chocolate Chip Cookies

Preheat Oven:

• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.

Mix Wet Ingredients:

• In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar using a hand mixer or stand mixer until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
• Add the vanilla extract and eggs, mixing until well combined.

Mix Dry Ingredients:

• In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.

Combine Mixtures:

• Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
• Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.

Bake the Cookies:

• Drop tablespoon-sized portions of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each for spreading.
• Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers are still soft.
• Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
