Preparation Steps

• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
• In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar.
• Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then add the vanilla extract.
• Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
• Fold in the chocolate chips and optional sprinkles.
• Drop generous portions of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each.
• Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are soft.
• Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack.
