Ingredients
  

Cookie Dough
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour 380 grams
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 2 sticks unsalted butter 227 grams, at cool room temperature (67°F)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar 100 grams
  • 1.25 cups light brown sugar 247 grams, lightly packed
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 2 large eggs at room temperature
  • 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips 340 grams

Equipment

  • Baking sheets
  • Parchment paper
  • Electric mixer
  • Large cookie scoop
  • Wire racks

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350ºF. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until creamy, about 2 minutes. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the mixing bowl. Add the vanilla and eggs and beat until combined, scraping the bowl down as needed. Gradually beat in the flour mixture. Stir in the chocolate chips.
  4. Divide the dough into 3-tablespoon sized balls using a large cookie scoop and drop onto prepared baking sheets.
  5. If time permits, place the dough scoops into an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 24 hours but no more than 72 hours. This allows the dough to “marinate” and makes the cookies thicker, chewier, and more flavorful. Bake from the fridge.
  6. Bake for 11-13 minutes, or until golden brown. Cool for 5 minutes before removing to wire racks to cool completely.

Notes

You can store these cookies in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
