2.Cream butter and sugars: In a large bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.

3.Add eggs and vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.

4.Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.

5.Mix wet and dry ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.   

6.Add chocolate chips: Stir in the chocolate chips.

7.Scoop and bake: Scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

8.Bake: Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown.

9.Cool and enjoy: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips for the perfect chocolate chip cookie:   


• Don't overmix: Overmixing the dough can lead to tough cookies.

• Chill the dough: Chilling the dough for at least 30 minutes will help the cookies hold their shape.

• Use room temperature butter: Room temperature butter will cream more easily with the sugars.

• Don't overbake: Overbaking will result in dry cookies.

Enjoy these classic chocolate chip cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage.
