Ingredients

Equipment

Instructions

Measure and prepare all ingredients. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
Set up a KitchenAid mixer with a paddle attachment. In the mixer bowl, beat the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar for 1–2 minutes until well combined.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition, then mix in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture in three parts, mixing after each addition until just combined.
Remove the bowl from the mixer and fold in the chocolate chips with a wooden spoon.
Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and scoop the cookie dough onto them using a small (1.58-inch) dough scoop. Spacing isn’t needed yet.
Cover the baking sheets tightly with plastic wrap and chill the dough in the refrigerator for 2 hours.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two more large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
Transfer the chilled cookie dough scoops to the new baking sheets, spacing them apart so they can spread while baking.
Bake in batches for 10–12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. Let the cookies cool on the sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.

Notes

Storing Soft Chocolate Chip Cookies

Storing baked chocolate chip cookies: these soft cookies can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks at room temperature. Label the date on the outside of the container to keep up with freshness.

To freeze the cookie dough: scoop dough portions onto the cookie sheets and stick them into the freezer for 6 hours, or until the dough is hard. Then, transfer the frozen cookie dough balls into a freezer-safe ziploc bag and store in the freezer for up to 3 months. Always label the date on the outside of the container to keep up with freshness.
