Ingredients

  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips or your preferred mix-ins.
  7. Spread the cookie dough evenly into the prepared sheet pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  8. Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set but still soft.
  9. Allow the cookies to cool in the pan before slicing into bars or squares.
  10. Serve and enjoy!
