The Recipe
What you'll need
- Parchment paper sheets
- Good quality baking sheets
- 1 medium size cookie scoop
Ingredients
- 281g (2¼ cups) all-purpose flour
- 5g (1 tsp) baking soda
- 3g (½ tsp) salt
- 225g (1 cup / 2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 150g (¾ cup) granulated sugar
- 150g packed (¾ cup) brown sugar
- 2 large eggs, at room temperature
- 5g (1 tsp) vanilla extract
- 340g (2 cups) semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
-
Preheat Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
-
Combine sugars In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Beat until well mixed and smooth.
-
Add eggs Add the vanilla extract and eggs to the sugar mixture, beating well after each addition.
-
Mix dry ingredients Combine the flour, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
-
Fold in chocolate Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
-
Scoop Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie to allow for spreading.
-
Bake Bake for 8–10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned but the center is still soft.
-
Cool Cool the cookies on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Tips & Notes
Cooling the cookies in the refrigerator for a couple of hours or overnight will prevent them from spreading too much when baking.
