Baking Instructions

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Line baking sheets with parchment or spray with non-stick spray.
• Partially melt butter: microwave it halfway or place it in a metal bowl in the preheating oven until half melted. Let cool.
• Beat cooled butter with sugars until light and fluffy. Mix in vanilla and eggs one at a time.
• Add flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix on low until combined. If dough is too wet, add flour 1 tablespoon at a time (no more than 3 tablespoons extra).
• Fold in chocolate chips. Scoop dough (¼ cup for large cookies, 1.5 tablespoons for medium) onto baking sheets, spacing for spreading. Press slightly and add extra chocolate chips on top if desired.
• Bake one tray at a time: 10–12 minutes for large cookies, 8–9 minutes for small. Cool on a wire rack.
• Store in an airtight container. Makes 1 dozen large or 2 dozen small cookies.
