Baking Instructions

- In another bowl, combine the melted butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients and fold in the chocolate chips.
- Chill the dough in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Use a cookie scoop to form dough balls and place them on the baking sheet, leaving space in between.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes until the edges are golden brown.
- Allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Chilling the dough is key for thick, chewy cookies. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week, or freeze for up to three months.
