Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda

- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, beat together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until creamy.
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
- Fold in chocolate chips evenly.
