Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 Cup Salted Butter
  • 2 Large Eggs
  • 1 Cup Packed Brown Sugar
  • 3/4 Cup Granulated Sugar
  • 3 Cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 3/4 tsp Cinnamon
  • 3/4 tsp Salt
  • 3/4 tsp Baking Soda
  • 2 Cups Chocolate chips

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees

  2. 2

    Soften Butter

    Soften the butter by your chosen method. A pan on the stove on medium low works best. If you're in a hurry a microwave works too. You want the butter to be soft all the way through and slightly melted.

  3. 3

    Cream the Wet Ingredients

    Add the softened butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and eggs to an electric stand mixer and mix on medium low speed until you have a light creamy consistency. I find it easiest to just leave it mixing while you mix the dry ingredients.

  4. 4

    Mix the Dry Ingredients

    Add the flour, cinnamon, salt, and baking soda to a separate mixing bowl. Whisk ingredients together.

  5. 5

    Add Dry Ingredients to Wet Ingredients

    A little at a time, add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients. Leave the electric mixer on a slow mix setting to incorporate the dry ingredients as they get added.

  6. 6

    Add Chocolate Chips

    Either with the mixer on slow speed, or folding in by hand, add the chocolate chips to the cookie dough.

  7. 7

    Bake the Cookies

    Add 2tbsp (standard cookie scoop) balls of cookie dough to a baking sheet. Bake between 11-13 minutes. You'll know the cookies are done when the bottom edge of the cookie looks set and has a nice light golden brown color.
