Step 1: Gather Your Ingredients

Before you start baking, make sure you have all the necessary ingredients ready. You will need:

• 150g of softened butter
• 150g of granulated sugar
• 100g of brown sugar
• 2 eggs (approximately 100g)
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
• 280g of all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons of baking soda
• 1 teaspoon of salt
• 400g of chopped chocolate

Step 2: Prepare the Dough

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar.
2. Using a paddle attachment or whisk, beat the mixture until it becomes light and creamy.
3. Add the vanilla extract and the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
4. In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until incorporated.
6. Fold in the chopped chocolate using a silicone spatula until evenly distributed.

Step 3: Portion the Cookies

1. Using an ice cream scoop, portion the cookie dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
2. Leave about 2 centimeters of space between each cookie to allow for spreading during baking.
3. Once all the dough is portioned, refrigerate the baking sheet while you preheat the oven.

Step 4: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to a high temperature (approximately 180°C or 350°F) while the cookie dough chills in the refrigerator.

Step 5: Bake the Cookies

1. After preheating, take the baking sheet out of the refrigerator.
2. Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for about 10 minutes.
3. Look for slight caramelization on the edges of the cookies, which indicates they are done.

Step 6: Cool the Cookies

1. Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven.
2. Allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack for further cooling.

Congratulations! You have successfully baked a batch of delicious American cookies. Enjoy them fresh out of the oven or store them in an airtight container for later.
