Mom's Chocolate Chip Cookies
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

  2. In the bowl of a stand mixer (or in a large bowl with a hand mixer), cream together butter and sugars.

  3. Add in the eggs and vanilla extract and beat until smooth.

  4. Then add flour, salt, and baking soda and beat on low speed until combined. Stir in chocolate chips with a wooden spoon or spatula.

  5. Roll the cookie dough into balls (1-2" rounds) or scoop with a cookie scoop and place 2" apart on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. (See notes below for additional tips). If desired, you can press a few extra chocolate chips onto the top of the cookie dough balls before baking.

  6. Bake for 8-12 minutes, depending on how large you made them. Bake until lightly golden at the edges but still slightly glossy in the center — trust me! They will continue to set as they cool. Overbaked cookies are hard and dry.

  7. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a couple of minutes before putting them onto wire racks to cool completely.
