Directions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a small bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and baking soda; set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and salt until the mixture is smooth and fluffy.
- Beat in the vanilla extract and add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Gradually blend in the flour mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix!
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
- Drop large spoonfuls of dough onto ungreased baking sheets, leaving space between each cookie.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 9 to 11 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown while the centers still look slightly underbaked for maximum gooeyness.
- Allow the cookies to cool on baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
Tips & Variations
- Ingredient substitutions: If you’re out of eggs, you can use unsweetened applesauce as a replacement (1/4 cup per egg).
- Optional variations: Add a cup of chopped nuts or swap some of the chocolate chips for caramel bits for an extra flavor twist!
- Storage or reheating tips: Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. If you like them warm, pop them in the microwave for 10-15 seconds!
