Preparation Steps

• Preheat the oven to 330 degrees F (165 C) then prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper. Set aside for later.
• In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer, on medium speed, mix together the softened butter, light brown sugar, and powdered sugar until the mix is light and fluffy.
• Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition until the eggs are fully incorporated. Then add the vanilla extract and mix again. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
• Add in the flour mixture 0.5 cup at a time until all of the flour has been added and just combined. Stir in the chocolate chips with a wooden spoon.
• Next, scoop 2-3 tablespoon balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them.
• Put the balls of dough into the preheated oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes for smaller cookies. If using a large cookie scoop, bake the cookies for 14 to 17 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft.
• Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Then serve.
