🧈 Ingredients
-
1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, softened
-
3/4 cup (150g) brown sugar (light or dark)
-
1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
-
2 large eggs
-
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
-
2 1/4 cups (280g) all-purpose flour
-
1 teaspoon baking soda
-
1/2 teaspoon salt
-
2 cups (340g) semisweet chocolate chips
-
Optional: Flaky sea salt for topping
👩🍳 Instructions
Step 1: Preheat
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Step 2: Cream the Butter and Sugar
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until light and fluffy—about 2–3 minutes.
Step 3: Add Eggs and Vanilla
Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla extract.
Step 4: Add Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture until just combined—don’t overmix!
Step 5: Fold in Chocolate Chips
Gently stir in the chocolate chips (resist the urge to eat all the dough now... or don’t—we don’t judge).
Step 6: Scoop and Bake
Scoop the dough into balls (about 2 tablespoons each) and place them a few inches apart on the baking sheet. Bake for 9–11 minutes, until the edges are golden and the centers still look slightly underbaked.
Step 7: Cool and Enjoy
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt if you’re feeling fancy!
🔄 Tips & Variations
-
Chewier Cookies: Use more brown sugar than white sugar (try 1 cup brown, 1/4 cup white).
-
Crispier Edges: Flatten dough balls slightly before baking.
-
Add-Ins: Try adding chopped walnuts, pecans, or a sprinkle of cinnamon.
-
Make Ahead: Freeze dough balls and bake straight from the freezer—just add 1–2 minutes to baking time.
