Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 heaping teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter (at room temperature)
- 2 cups light brown sugar (packed)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and sea salt. Set aside.
- In a stand mixer (or large bowl with an electric hand mixer), cream together room temperature butter and packed light brown sugar on medium-high speed until light and fluffy (2-3 minutes). Beat in eggs one at a time, then vanilla extract, until just blended.
- Turn mixer off and add the flour mixture. Mix on medium speed just until combined, then turn to high speed for a few seconds to pull the dough together (it will be chunky). Add chocolate chips and beat on high speed for 5 seconds to mix them in thoroughly.
- Drop large spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet (do not flatten). Bake for 10-11 minutes, until lightly browned on top. Cool on the pan for 1 minute, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Repeat with remaining dough.
