Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Gradually mix in the dry ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Fold in the chocolate chips using a spatula.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about ¼-inch thickness. Use heart-shaped cookie cutters to cut out cookies and place them on the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. Avoid overbaking for soft cookies.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For an extra touch, drizzle melted chocolate over the cookies once they cool.
- You can substitute semi-sweet chocolate chips with dark or white chocolate chips for variety.
- Chilling the dough for 30 minutes before rolling out makes it easier to handle.
