Ingredients
– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 teaspoon baking soda
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
– 2 large eggs
– 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
– 1 vanilla bean, split and seeds scraped
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
3. In a large bowl, beat the butter and both sugars together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract and vanilla bean seeds.
4. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
5. Scoop heaping tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
6. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still slightly soft.
7. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For a chewier cookie, bake for 1-2 minutes less. Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
