Ingredients
– 1 cup softened butter
– 1 cup white sugar (granulated or organic cane sugar)
– 1 cup packed light brown sugar
– 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
– 2 large eggs

3-In a separate bowl, cream together the softened butter and both sugars until well combined.

6-Stir in the chocolate chips evenly through the dough.
7-Roll the dough into balls of 2-3 tablespoons each and place them on the prepared cookie sheets spaced 1.5 to 2 inches apart.

9-Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
