Method
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
Mixing Ingredients
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time and then add the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined; do not overmix.
- Fold in any optional mix-ins.
Baking
- Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to portion the dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes until the edges are lightly golden.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
Notes
For a chewy center, do not overbake. Consider chilling the dough for an hour for better flavor. Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
