Ingredients
Scale
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.

- In a separate bowl, cream the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, then add vanilla extract.
- Gradually mix in the dry ingredients until just combined. Fold in chocolate chips.
- Scoop dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart.

Notes
