Ingredients
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 large eggs
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup red and green colored sugar sprinkles
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar together until creamy and smooth, about 2 minutes.
Add the vanilla extract and eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the semisweet chocolate chips evenly.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Sprinkle each cookie dough ball generously with the red and green colored sugar sprinkles to create a festive look.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are golden but the centers remain soft.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
