Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Partially melt the unsalted butter in a microwave-safe bowl, about 30–45 seconds, and let cool slightly.
  3. Cream the cooled butter with granulated sugar and light brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
  4. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt, then gradually add to the wet ingredients until just combined.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  7. Scoop generous portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes for large cookies, watching for lightly golden edges.
  9. Let cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
