Method
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar using an electric mixer until the mixture is light, fluffy, and pale in color, about 3-4 minutes. You should see a smooth, creamy texture and a slight increase in volume.
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then mix in the vanilla extract. The mixture should become more emulsified and slightly increased in volume, with a glossy appearance.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add these dry ingredients to the wet mixture in three parts, mixing on low speed until just combined. The dough will begin to come together and appear slightly thick but soft.
- Fold in the chocolate chips using a spatula or wooden spoon, distributing them evenly throughout the dough. The dough should be soft and slightly sticky, with visible chocolate chips distributed uniformly.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the centers look just set. You may see slight cracking on the surface, indicating doneness.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the cookies cool on it for 5 minutes, allowing the edges to firm up. Then transfer the cookies to a wire cooling rack and cool completely before serving. The cookies will be crispy at the edges and tender in the center, with glossy melted chocolate chips on top.
