makes about 4 dozen cookies. If say, you don't eat half the cookie dough, anyway.
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 1/4 cups unsifted unbleached all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
2 cups Ghirardelli semi-sweet chocolate chips (yeah, that's the whole bag!)
1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
2. Cream together the butter and sugars.
3. Stir in the eggs and vanilla.
4. In a separate bowl, stir together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
5. Mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients.
6. Stir in the chocolate chips.
7. Use an ice cream scoop to scoop large balls of dough onto a baking sheet. (I did about 6 cookies per batch.)
8. Bake for 9-12 minutes, or until the edges of the cookie are light brown.
9. Place the cookies on a wire rack to cool.
10. Eat!
