Steps:
- Position 2 racks in the center of the oven, and preheat to 375 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment.
- Whisk together the flour, baking soda and 1 teaspoon salt in a large bowl.
- Beat the butter and both sugars on medium-high speed in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment (or in a large bowl if using a handheld mixer) until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Add the eggs, one at time, beating after each addition to incorporate. Beat in the vanilla. Scrape down the side of the bowl as needed. Reduce the speed to medium, add the flour mixture and beat until just incorporated. Stir in the chocolate chips.
- Scoop 12 heaping tablespoons of dough about 2 inches apart onto each prepared baking sheet. Roll the dough into balls with slightly wet hands. Bake, rotating the cookie sheets from upper to lower racks halfway through, until golden but still soft in the center, 12 to 15 minutes (the longer the cook time, the crunchier the cookies). Let cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet, and then transfer to a rack to cool completely.
- Let the baking sheets cool completely, scoop the remaining dough onto 1 sheet and bake. Store the cookies in a tightly sealed container at room temperature for up to 5 days.

THE BEST CHEWY CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES RECIPE BY TASTY
There are a few secrets to the best classic, chewy chocolate chip cookies. Number one: Don't use chips; instead, opt for a mix of milk or semisweet and dark chocolate chunks. The second is to let the dough rest overnight or longer for a more complex, toffee-like flavor. Lastly, use an ice cream scooper to get even-sized cookies every time. And that's it! With these little tweaks, the result is a cookie that's textured on the outside, and soft and gooey on the inside. Absolutely perfect!

Steps:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the sugars, salt, and butter until a paste forms with no lumps.
- Whisk in the egg and vanilla, beating until light ribbons fall off the whisk and remain for a short while before falling back into the mixture.
- Sift in the flour and baking soda, then fold the mixture with a spatula (Be careful not to overmix, which would cause the gluten in the flour to toughen resulting in cakier cookies).
- Fold in the chocolate chunks, then chill the dough for at least 30 minutes. For a more intense toffee-like flavor and deeper color, chill the dough overnight. The longer the dough rests, the more complex its flavor will be.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Scoop the dough with an ice-cream scoop onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet, leaving at least 4 inches (10 cm) of space between cookies and 2 inches (5 cm) of space from the edges of the pan so that the cookies can spread evenly.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges have started to barely brown.
- Cool completely before serving.
- Enjoy!

Steps:
- Pre-heat oven to 390 degrees F. In a large mixing bowl mix sugar, butter, vanilla and egg together. Do not over beat the mixture. If using a hand mixer only go for about a minute and a half. Stir in flour, baking soda, and salt. Then add the chocolate chips . Mix until combined. For smaller cookies use a rounded tablespoon to dish out round dough balls. For larger cookies, an ice cream scoop works well. Before you cook your cookies, freeze them first. Doing this will ensure that the flour and butter cook at the same time, which leaves you with plump rounded cookies (the reason most homemade cookies turn out flat and greasy is because the butter cooks out first). Once frozen, on an ungreased cookie pan cook for 10 minutes. Finally, take the cookies out of the oven and place on a cooling rack. Allow your easy chocolate chip cookies to cool and then enjoy!

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: Opt for semisweet or bittersweet chocolate chips, unsalted butter, and pure vanilla extract for the best flavor.
- Chill the dough: Chilling the dough helps the cookies hold their shape and prevents them from spreading too much.
- Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough can result in tough cookies. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Use a cookie scoop: A cookie scoop helps ensure uniform cookie sizes and shapes.
- Bake the cookies at the right temperature: The ideal temperature for baking chocolate chip cookies is 350°F (175°C). A higher temperature can cause the cookies to burn, while a lower temperature can result in undercooked cookies.
- Don't overbake the cookies: Overbaking can make the cookies dry and crumbly. Bake the cookies just until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.
- Let the cookies cool completely: Allowing the cookies to cool completely helps them firm up and develop their full flavor.
Conclusion:
With the right ingredients, techniques, and a little patience, you can create delicious, plump, and chewy chocolate chip cookies that will satisfy your sweet tooth and impress your friends and family. So, preheat your oven, gather your ingredients, and let's get baking!
