Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup light brown sugar (packed)
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour

- In a stand mixer bowl, cream together softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar on medium-high until light and fluffy (about 5 minutes).
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually mix into the wet ingredients until just combined.
- Fold in chocolate chips gently.
- Using an ice cream scoop, place dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart.
