Method
- Heat the oven to 350°F.
- Line two 18x13-inch rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Beat the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until creamy, about 2 minutes.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time.
- Mix in the vanilla.
- Whisk the flour, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl.
- Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture and mix on low just until combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Immediately scoop the dough into 1 1/2-tablespoon portions onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake both sheets at once for 10–12 minutes, switching their positions halfway through, until the edges are lightly golden and the centers still look soft.
- Let the cookies rest on the baking sheets for 5 minutes.
- Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool.
Notes
For soft centers, take the cookies out when the edges are lightly golden and the centers still look soft. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days; freeze for longer storage. Dairy-free butter and semisweet chocolate chips can be used as a dairy-free swap.
