Ingredients

2¼ cups all-purpose flour

In a small bowl combine flour, baking soda, and salt and stir together. Set aside.
In the bowl of a stand mixer add butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat until creamy. Add the eggs, one at a time, and mix well after each egg is added.
Slowly mix in the flour mixture until just combined.

Cover the bowl and chill for at least 4 hours to overnight.
Preheat the oven to 375°F.
Use a cookie scoop to form dough balls and drop cookie dough, evenly spaced, onto an ungreased cookie sheet.
Bake for 9-11 minutes. Larger cookies bake for 11-13 minutes.

Notes

Recipe Tips:

Traditionally these Nestle Toll House cookies are thin with a chewy center and crisp edge. Keep the dough cool, to avoid cookies that spread too much.
For the best texture, mix the dry ingredients first, then add the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Over-mixing can cause the gluten to overactive resulting in a tougher batch of cookies.
After forming dough balls add 4-5 chocolate chips to the top of each dough ball. The Nestle Toll House chocolate chip cookies spread out during the baking time and sit prettily on top of each cookie.

STORE cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for 4-5 days (Toss in a piece of white bread to keep them soft and chewy).

FREEZE. Separate layers of cookies with parchment paper in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. See How to Freeze Cookie Dough for more options.
