Best Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies

Preheat your oven to 190°C and line baking sheets with parchment paper.

Cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes with an electric mixer.

Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla extract until well combined.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.

Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined - don't overmix.

Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 5cm apart.

Bake for 9-11 minutes, until the edges are set but centers still look slightly underdone.

Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
