Ingredients:

  • 1 cup (225g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup (200g) brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup (100g) granulated white sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 tsp (10ml) pure vanilla extract
  • 3 cups (375g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp (5g) baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp (3g) salt
  • 2 cups (340g) semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
  2. Beat 225g softened unsalted butter, 200g brown sugar, and 100g white sugar together on medium-high speed for 2-3 minutes until the mixture is pale and fluffy.
  3. Add 2 large eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition until the batter is smooth.
  4. Stir in 10ml pure vanilla extract.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 375g all-purpose flour, 5g baking soda, and 3g salt.
  6. Gradually turn the mixer to low and slowly add the flour mixture, mixing only until the white streaks of flour disappear.
  7. Using a spatula, gently fold in 340g semi-sweet chocolate chips by hand.
  8. Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto parchment-lined baking sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart.
  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are barely golden but the centers still look slightly underbaked and soft.
  10. Allow the cookies to rest on the baking sheet for 5-10 minutes to firm up.
  11. Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
