Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 3 cups (380 grams) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon fine sea salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 sticks (227 grams) unsalted butter, at cool room temperature (67°F)
  • 1/2 cup (100 grams) granulated sugar
  • 1 1/4 cups (247 grams) lightly packed light brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature

Mix-ins

  • 2 cups (340 grams) semisweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and fine sea salt until well combined. Set aside.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter with the granulated sugar and light brown sugar using an electric mixer or by hand until the mixture is light and fluffy, approximately 3 to 5 minutes.
  4. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, making sure each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Then mix in the vanilla extract until smooth.
  5. Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients. Stir or mix on low speed until just combined; avoid overmixing to maintain cookie tenderness.
  6. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold the semisweet chocolate chips into the dough until evenly distributed throughout.
  7. Scoop Dough: Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
  8. Bake Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown but the centers still appear slightly soft.
  9. Cool and Enjoy: Remove the baking sheets from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely for best texture.

Notes

  • For best flavor and texture, use butter at cool room temperature (around 67°F), not melted or too soft.
  • Do not overmix the dough after adding flour to prevent tough cookies.
  • If you prefer crispier cookies, bake for an additional 1-2 minutes, watching closely to avoid burning.
  • Feel free to substitute semisweet chocolate chips with chunks or any preferred chocolate variety.
  • Storing cookies in an airtight container at room temperature will keep them fresh for up to 5 days.
