Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2.25 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.25 teaspoon optional flaky sea salt for topping
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter until just liquefied. Let it cool for 2 minutes.
Add the granulated sugar and brown sugar to the melted butter. Mix vigorously with a whisk or wooden spoon until creamy and well combined.
Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula until a soft dough forms.
Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
If desired, sprinkle a small pinch of flaky sea salt on top of each dough ball for added flavor contrast.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers look slightly underbaked.
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheets for 5 minutes to set before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy the dangerously delicious chocolate chip cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage!
