- cookie sheet
Ingredients
- 2.5 Cups Flour
- 2 Cups Chocolate Chips
- 2 Whole Eggs
- 1.25 Cups Granulated Sugar
- .75 Cups Brown Sugar
- .25 teaspoon Salt
- 1.25 teaspoon Baking Soda
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

- Add .75 cups brown sugar, 1.25 cups white sugar and 1 cup of softened butter to the mixing bowl.
- Turn the mixer on medium high speed for around 2 minutes to cream the butter and sugar together. It will get light and fluffy.

- Scoop out balls of dough about 1.5 tablespoons in size (using a measuring spoon or cookie scoop works well).
- Place the balls of dough a few inches apart on the greased cookie sheet.
- Bake for around 10 minutes or until edges are light brown.
Notes
Tips
- Properly soften butter - place sticks at room temperature for about an hour. Cut into chunks at room temperature for about 30 mins. Or, speed it up by defrosting in the microwave for about 20 seconds (just make sure it doesn't start to melt).
- Room temperature eggs - using room temperature eggs will mix in easier and faster and help prevent overmixing dough.
- Avoid overbaking - remove cookies from the oven when centers are still soft, they will continue to firm up as they cool.
- Storage - in an airtight container at room temperature for about 5 days. Or, freeze in a freezer bag or airtight container for up to a year.
