Ingredients

Scale

2 cups all-purpose flour
1.5 cups granulated sugar
0.5 cup light brown sugar
1 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
2 large eggs, room temperature
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp baking soda
0.5 tsp salt
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
Whisk the flour, baking soda, and salt together in a medium bowl.
Combine the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar in a large mixing bowl until smooth.
Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, whisking until the texture becomes glossy.
Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a silicone spatula until just combined.
Incorporate the chocolate chips into the dough evenly.
Drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them well to allow for spreading.
Bake for 12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.

Notes

Ensure butter is melted but not piping hot before adding eggs to prevent scrambling. Measure flour by spooning it into the measuring cup and leveling it off. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week to maintain the crispy texture.
