Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees fahrenheit. (350° if you’re using a convection oven)

Mix butter and sugars.

The colder the butter, the better. If you don’t have a stand mixer, your forearms should be burning at the end of this step.

1 cup Butter
1 cup Granulated Sugar
1/2 cup Brown Sugar

Add eggs, vanilla, salt and baking soda.

2 Eggs
2 tsp. Real Vanilla Extract
1 tsp. Salt
1 tsp. Baking Soda

Add flour 1 cup at a time and then add final 1/3 cup. I usually just use my hands to mix the flour....but for God's sake, wash your hands first, you animal!!

2 1/3 cup All Purpose Flour

Add chocolate chips. Again, I usually use my hands.

12 oz. Chocolate Chips

Drop golf ball-sized balls of dough onto baking sheet.

You can just use an un-greased baking sheet but I usually line the baking sheet with aluminum foil for easier clean up.

Bake at 375 degrees fahrenheit (350° for convection ovens) for 9 minutes.

Insert cookie into mouth...
