Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and baking soda until well combined.
  3. In a larger mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Add the large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then drizzle in the vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add the flour and baking soda mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed just until combined.
  6. Using a large spoon or cookie scoop, drop generous spoonfuls of cookie dough onto your prepared baking sheet.
  7. Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes until golden edges appear with soft centers.
  8. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
