Ingredients

Scale

  • 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, cream together softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Beat in eggs one at a time, then add vanilla extract.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this to the wet mixture.

Notes

If you want softer cookies, add 1 tablespoon of honey or maple syrup to mimic the moisture that brown sugar provides. For crispier cookies, bake an additional 1-2 minutes, but watch closely to avoid overbaking.
