2 large eggs (room temperature)
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup white chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, cream together softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).

Gradually mix dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined; avoid over-mixing.
