Ingredients
For the cookie dough
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened

Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips.

Baking

Notes
These cookies are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven. For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon to the flour mixture. Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for about a week, or freeze for up to three months.
