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

Notes
Chilling the dough for at least 30 minutes can improve texture. Ensure baking soda is fresh for optimal rise.
