The Recipe

Before we dive into the recipe, let me just tell you that this is not your average chocolate chip cookie. It’s soft, chewy, and has just the right amount of chocolate in every bite. Here’s what you’ll need:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
3. In a separate large bowl, using an electric mixer, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
4. Add in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, and mix until well combined.
5. Slowly add in the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
6. Stir in the chocolate chips.
7. Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
8. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
