Brown Sugar Chocolate Chip Cookies: Soft

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large bowl, beat softened butter, brown sugar, and white sugar on medium-high for 2–3 minutes until pale and fluffy.
2. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
4. Turn mixer to low and gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing only until white streaks disappear.
5. Fold in the chocolate chips by hand using a spatula.
6. Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough (about 2 tbsp per cookie) onto lined baking sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart.
7. Bake for 9–11 minutes until edges are golden brown but centers remain soft.
8. Let cookies cool on the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
