Ingredients
-
3 cups (380g) all-purpose flour**
-
1 teaspoon baking soda
-
1 teaspoon fine sea salt
-
2 sticks (227g) unsalted butter, at cool room temperature (67°F)
-
½ cup (100g) granulated sugar
-
1¼ cups (247g) light brown sugar, lightly packed

2 teaspoons vanilla extract
-
2 large eggs, at room temperature

2 cups (340g) semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
-
Preheat oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper. -
Mix dry ingredients:
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside. -
Cream butter and sugars:
In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until creamy and smooth (about 2–3 minutes). -
Add eggs and vanilla:
Mix in the vanilla extract and eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. -
Combine wet and dry ingredients:
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix. -
Fold in chocolate chips:
Stir in the chocolate chips evenly. -
Scoop and bake:
Scoop dough into 2-tablespoon portions and place 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until edges are golden but centers look slightly underbaked.
-
Cool:
Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
For a bakery-style look, press a few extra chocolate chips into the tops of the dough balls before baking
Chill the dough for 24–48 hours for even deeper flavor.
These cookies freeze beautifully — both baked and unbaked!
