Recipe Information
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)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
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.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next. Mix in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Avoid overmixing, as this can make the cookies less tender.
Fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring they're evenly distributed throughout the dough.
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.
If desired, sprinkle the tops of the cookie dough balls lightly with coarse sea salt for a touch of salty contrast.
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.
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.
Enjoy warm or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
