Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt in a bowl.
Cream the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and fluffy.
Add eggs one at a time and mix well after each addition.
Stir in vanilla extract.
Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until a dough forms.
Fold in the chocolate chips evenly.
Scoop dough balls onto the baking sheet, leaving space between them.
Bake for 10–12 minutes until the edges are golden.
Allow cookies to cool slightly before serving.

Notes

For extra chewy cookies, chill the dough for 20 minutes before baking. You can substitute dark chocolate chips or add chopped walnuts for variation. Store cookies in an airtight container for up to 4 days or freeze dough balls for future baking.
