If you’re looking for the best chocolate chip cookie recipe, this one is it. They come out perfectly soft, chewy, and buttery every time.
Preheat the oven to 375°F and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
Cream together the sugars and the butter until light and fluffy. Scrape the sides with a spatula, as needed.
Add the eggs, one at a time, and mix well between additions. Scrape the sides with a spatula.
Add the vanilla and mix well.
In a medium bowl, combine the baking soda, salt, and flour.
Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, 1/2 cup at a time, until it is fully incorporated and the dough begins to pull from the edges.
Bake for 7-9 minutes. {They may not seem done because they are still really soft, but trust me - this is how you want them to be!}
Transfer to a cooling rack and let cool completely. This will help everything to solidify and end up soft and chewy.
