Ingredients
- 225 g unsalted butter softened
- 200 g granulated sugar
- 220 g packed brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 360 g all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 300 g chocolate chips or chunks
- A pinch of sea salt flakes for topping
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 190°C (375°F). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. Beat in the vanilla extract.
- Add Eggs: Incorporate the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this to the creamed mixture, mixing until just combined.
- Fold in Chocolate: Stir in the chocolate chips or chunks until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Shape Cookies: Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving enough space between each cookie for them to spread.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the centers remain soft.
- Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
Notes
Serve the cookies slightly warm or at room temperature. If you wish to add a gourmet touch, sprinkle a few flakes of sea salt on top of each cookie immediately after baking. This enhances the flavors and adds a subtle contrast to the sweetness.
