Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 1/4 cups of all-purpose flour and 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda until well combined.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat 1 cup of unsalted butter with 1/2 cup of granulated sugar and 1 cup of light-brown sugar for about 3 minutes.
  4. Add 1 teaspoon of salt, 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract, and 2 large eggs to the mixture, and mix well.
  5. Gradually incorporate the flour mixture into the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined.
  6. Fold in 2 cups of chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
  7. Drop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until the cookie edges are golden and the centers appear soft.
  9. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
