Scale

2¼ cup all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

¾ teaspoon salt

1 cup unsalted butter at room temperature

½ cup light brown sugar packed

½ cup granulated sugar

2 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 large eggs at room temperature

1½ cups semisweet chocolate chips

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
In a large bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in the vanilla extract and eggs until well combined.
Gradually mix in the dry ingredients until just combined, then fold in the chocolate chips.
Scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheets and shape into hearts if desired.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Allow to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.

For best results, use room temperature ingredients and ensure the butter is properly creamed to achieve a fluffy cookie texture.
