Chocolate Chip Cookies

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Add the vanilla extract and the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.

Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Stir in the semisweet chocolate chips by hand.

Using a cookie scoop, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto an ungreased baking sheet, about 2 inches apart.

Bake for 9 to 11 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.

Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
