Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt (or any coarse salt)
- 8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 2 cups packed light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 2 cups blend of semi-sweet and bittersweet chocolate chips
- Maldon sea salt flakes (to finish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with unbleached parchment paper.
- In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt, then set aside.
- Using a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the cold butter and brown sugar on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 2 to 3 minutes.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing until blended. Then add the vanilla and mix again.
- With the stand mixer running, slowly pour in the dry ingredients. Mix until combined.
- Add the chocolate chips and mix briefly to incorporate.
- Scoop cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet in groups of 6 to 8.
- Bake for about 12 to 14 minutes, or until golden brown. Optionally, sprinkle with Maldon sea salt flakes two minutes before finishing the bake.
- Let them cool for a few minutes and enjoy!
- For leftover dough, scoop out and freeze them, then bake from frozen without thawing.
Notes
For a fluffier texture, use cold butter. Keep an eye on cookies to avoid overcooking. Experiment with different types of chocolate for unique flavors.
