Ingredients
- 1 cup (softened) unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup brown sugar (packed)
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 2.25 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0 optional flaky sea salt (for finishing)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together using a hand mixer or stand mixer until the mixture is light and creamy, approximately 2-3 minutes.
Step 3
Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition, and then add the pure vanilla extract. Mix until fully combined.
Step 4
In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Avoid overmixing the dough.
Step 6
Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips using a spatula to ensure even distribution.
Step 7
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, portion out the dough into 1.5 tablespoon-sized balls and place them onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie to allow for spreading.
Step 8
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers look slightly underbaked. Do not overbake; the cookies will continue to set as they cool.
Step 9
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Optionally, sprinkle the warm cookies with a pinch of flaky sea salt for a burst of flavor contrast.
