Equipment

KitchenAid Stand Mixer
Oven

Ingredients

1 cup unsalted butter softened
¾ cup Brown Sugar
¾ cup Granulated Sugar
2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
2 Eggs room temperature
2-¼ cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon Baking Soda
1 teaspoon Salt
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Using a KitchenAid Stand Mixer fitted with a flat paddle attachment. Cream the butter and sugars together until smooth on medium speed for 1 minute. Then add in the egg and vanilla extract and mix on medium speed until incorporated about 15-23 minutes.
Next, add in the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix on low then gradually increase to medium speed as the flour begins to incorporate into the butter/sugar/eggs. Mix for 30 seconds (until the flour is fully mixed into the butter). Then, mix in the chocolate chips until just barely mixed (10 seconds on medium speed).
Using a medium cookie scoop drop a rounded tablespoon size of cookie dough onto un-greased parchment lined baking sheets.
Bake for 9 to 11 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes. Then, carefully, remove the cookies to a wire racks to cool completely.

Notes

Butter - 1 cup of butter equals 2 sticks.
Chocolate Chips - You can use chocolate chunks instead of chocolate chips or even mini chocolate chips for this recipe.
Nuts - If you like nuts in your chocolate chip cookies you can add 1 cup of chopped nuts of your choice. I prefer walnut, but you can also use pecan.
Yield - Recipe yields depends on the size of the cookie scoop you use. I like to use a medium cookie scoop.
Refrigerate Dough - If you want a thicker fluffier cookie you will want to refrigerate the dough for at least 30 minutes before scooping.
Refrigerate Leftover Cookie Dough - If you don't feel like making the entire batch you can refrigerate half or three quarters of the dough for later use. Simply shape the cookie dough into a log and wrap with plastic wrap.
