Preparation Steps

• Preheat your oven to 330 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
• In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together the softened butter, light brown sugar, and powdered sugar on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy. This usually takes about 2-3 minutes.
• Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition until fully incorporated. Then, add the vanilla extract and mix again. Scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure everything is well combined.
• Gradually add the sifted flour mixture to the wet ingredients, about 0.5 cup at a time, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix. Stir in the semi-sweet chocolate chips with a wooden spoon or spatula.
• Scoop 2-3 tablespoon balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving enough space between cookies for spreading.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes for smaller cookies, or 14-17 minutes for larger, jumbo cookies, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft.
• Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature.
