Ingredients
For the Cookie Dough
- 1 cup salted butter, softened at room temperature
- 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 3 cups all-purpose flour, spooned & leveled Approximately 390 grams
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (for pressing in)
- flaky sea salt (for topping)
Instructions
Making the Cookie Dough
- In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter using an electric mixer on high speed until smooth.
- Add the brown and granulated sugars, mixing until well combined and fluffy, about 1-2 minutes.
- Mix in the vanilla extract and eggs until just combined and smooth.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients (flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt) to the wet mixture. Mix until a dough forms, don’t worry if it looks a bit crumbly at first! Keep stirring until it comes together.
- Fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Chilling the Dough
- Scoop the dough into 10 equal balls, each weighing about 140 grams.
- Press a few extra chocolate chips into any bare spots on top of the dough balls.
- Place the dough balls in an airtight container and chill in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours or up to 48 hours. Alternatively, you can freeze them for at least 1 hour.
Baking the Cookies
- Preheat your oven to 350℉ (175℃) and line a few cookie sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- Space 3-4 cookie dough balls on each sheet, leaving ample room for spreading.
- Bake for 12-16 minutes. The cookies might look slightly underbaked in the center and puffy on top but will set perfectly as they cool. The edges will feel firm when gently tapped.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before indulging!
Notes
For the ultimate experience, serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. They also pair wonderfully with a cold glass of milk or warm cup of coffee. Keep leftovers in an airtight container for 4-5 days or freeze them for longer storage.
