Ingredients

• 1 cup Unsalted butter, softened
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 cup Brown sugar, packed
• 2 Eggs, large
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 2.5 cups Chocolate chips (semisweet or milk)
• 0.25 teaspoon Coarse sea salt (optional, for sprinkling)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next. Mix in the vanilla extract.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Avoid overmixing, as this can make the cookies less tender.

Step 6

Fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring they're evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 7

Using a large cookie scoop or 1/4 cup measure, scoop the dough and roll it into balls. Place them onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 3 inches apart to allow for spreading.

Step 8

If desired, sprinkle the tops of the cookie dough balls lightly with coarse sea salt for a touch of salty contrast.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers look slightly underbaked. This ensures a chewy center once cooled.

Step 10

Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to finish cooling.

Step 11

Enjoy warm or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
