##Wet Ingredients

• 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup packed light-brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 2 large eggs

##Cooking Directions

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

• In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the butter with both sugars; beat on medium speed until light and fluffy.

• Reduce speed to low; add the salt, vanilla, and eggs. Beat until well mixed, about 1 minute.

• Add flour mixture; mix until just combined.

• Stir in the chocolate chips.

• Drop heaping tablespoon-size balls of dough about 2 inches apart on baking sheets lined with parchment paper.

• Bake until cookies are golden around the edges, but still soft in the center, 8 to 10 minutes.

• Remove from oven, and let cool on baking sheet 1 to 2 minutes.

• Transfer to a wire rack, and let cool completely.

##Storage Directions
