Ingredients

Scale

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
2 large eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp baking soda
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish or line with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together granulated sugar, brown sugar, and softened butter until light and fluffy.
Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract.
In another bowl, whisk together flour and baking soda. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients until just combined.
Fold in chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
Spread the dough into the prepared baking dish and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown around the edges but soft in the center.
Allow cooling slightly before cutting into squares.
