Chocolate Chip Cookies: Dessert

Servings: 12

Prep time:10 Min

Ingredients:

• 

  2 1/4 cups All-purpose flour

• 

  1/2 teaspoon baking soda

• 

  1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature

• 

  1/2 cup granulated sugar

• 

  1 cup packed light-brown sugar

• 

  1 teaspoon salt

• 

  2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

• 

  2 eggs

• 

  2 cups semisweet and/or milk chocolate chips

Step 1:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a small bowl, whisk together the flour and baking soda; set aside. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the butter with both sugars; beat on medium speed until light and fluffy. Reduce speed to low; add the salt, vanilla, and eggs. Beat until well mixed, about 1 minute. Add flour mixture; mix until just combined. Stir in the chocolate chips

Step 2:

Drop heaping tablespoon-size balls of dough about 2 inches apart on baking sheets lined with parchment paper

Step 3:

Bake until cookies are golden around the edges, but still soft in the center, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from oven, and let cool on baking sheet 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack, and let cool completely.
