Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 226 grams unsalted butter
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 165 grams light brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 300 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
- 200 grams semi-sweet chocolate chips
- optional coarse sea salt (for sprinkling)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar together with a hand or stand mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and kosher salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Avoid overmixing to ensure the cookies remain tender.
Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough using a spatula or wooden spoon.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, portion out the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing each cookie about 2 inches apart.
If desired, sprinkle a small pinch of coarse sea salt on top of each cookie for a sweet-savory flavor contrast.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown and the centers look slightly underbaked.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy these cookies with a glass of milk, or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
