Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup 2 sticks unsalted butter (room temperature)
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1¼ cup light brown sugar
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 2 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips

Method
 

  1. To get started, preheat your oven to 350ºF (175ºC). Then, prepare your baking sheets by lining them with parchment paper. This will help prevent the cookies from sticking and make cleanup easier.
  2. In a spacious bowl, mix together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Ensure that the ingredients are well combined.
  3. Using the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until a creamy consistency is achieved. Add the vanilla extract and eggs to the mixture and continue beating until well combined. Gradually incorporate the flour mixture into the wet ingredients, beating on low speed until fully blended. Once the dry ingredients are incorporated, switch to a rubber spatula and gently stir in the chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  4. Using a tablespoon (about 2 ounces) of dough for large cookies or a large cookie scoop, take a portion of the dough and roll it into a ball shape. Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, ensuring they are spaced apart. Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for approximately 12 to 15 minutes, or until the edges turn a lovely golden brown color. Once baked, allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for about 10 minutes, and then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
