NYC Style Chocolate Chip Cookies – A Sweet Bite of Perfection

Prep the Oven and Dry Ingredients:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Cream the Wet Ingredients:
In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until well combined and creamy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.

Combine the Ingredients:
Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. Stir in the chocolate chips by hand to ensure an even distribution throughout the dough.

Scoop the Dough:
Drop rounded tablespoonfuls of cookie dough onto ungreased baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie to allow for spreading.

Bake:
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers remain soft. Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
