Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup Brown sugar
- 2 pieces 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
- 0.5 teaspoons Flaky sea salt (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs, one at a time, and beat well after each addition. Stir 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 mixture, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips with a spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
If desired, sprinkle a tiny pinch of flaky sea salt on the top of each cookie for an added flavor kick.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers still look slightly underbaked.
Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
