Ingredients
- 2 ¼ cups flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup butter
- 1 cup brown sugar packed
- 3 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- With a hand mixer or in a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
- Add in the eggs, one at a time, beating in completely after each addition. Add in the vanilla.
- Slowly add the flour mixture, beating on low speed until just combined.
- Add in the chocolate chips, stirring in until they are spread through the dough evenly.
- Drop by well-rounded tablespoons onto the prepared baking sheets. Do not press them down if you want a lovely rounded cakey cookie.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes until golden brown around the edges and the middles are set. They will spread out slightly but still stay wonderfully puffy and cakey.
- Cool on baking sheets completely. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 6 months.

Notes
- Do not overbake the cookies to keep them soft and tender; slightly underbaking gives the best results.
