Ingredients
- Ingredients
- 1 cup butter melted and cooled to room temperature
- 1¼ cup light brown sugar
- ¾ cup white sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
- 2½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl add in melted butter, sugars, eggs, and vanilla extract and whisk together until combined.
- In a separate bowl, mix together flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet and stir with a spatula to form the cookie dough.
- Chill the dough for a minimum of 2 hours. This step will prevent cookie spread!
- Scoop even spoonfuls of dough onto a cookie sheet.
- When ready to bake preheat the oven to 375ºF
- Roughly shape the cookies back into balls of dough before placing the cookies on a large parchment-lined cookie sheet about 4 inches apart.
- Bake for roughly 8 to 10 minutes or until you can still see it is doughy in the center but browning around the edge. Don't bake for longer as you will over bake it and lose that gooey center.
- Let cool on the sheet for 5 minutes then enjoy. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Cookies also freeze really well so feel free to put some in the freezer to enjoy when you wish.
- Enjoy!
