Step-by-Step Instructions for Easy Chocolate Chip Cookies
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, cream together softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
  3. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well each time, then incorporate vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually mix dry ingredients into wet ingredients until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
  6. Gently fold in chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
  7. Scoop dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until edges are golden brown and centers are slightly soft.
  9. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
