Step-by-Step Instructions
To start, I’ll first take my mixing bowl and combine the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. The warm butter helps to dissolve the sugars, making a nice, glossy mixture. I then add in the vanilla extract and salt. Just the scent of vanilla swirling in the air makes me feel all warm and nostalgic. Next, I fold in the flour—it’s important here to not overmix; we want it to stay soft and give a creamy texture. Once that’s done, I gently stir in my chocolate chips, letting them rain down like delicious little gems. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
