Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.25 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup brown sugar (packed)
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.5 teaspoon flaky sea salt (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, using a hand mixer or stand mixer, cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the vanilla extract and eggs to the butter mixture, beating until fully incorporated.
Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips using a spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounds of dough about 2 inches apart onto the prepared baking sheets.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden while the centers remain soft. Do not overbake for a chewy texture.
Remove the cookies from the oven and, if desired, sprinkle with a small pinch of flaky sea salt while still warm.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or store in an airtight container for up to one week. Enjoy your Decadent Cookies!
