14 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
½ cup light brown sugar, packed
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2½ cups all purpose flour (plus a few extra tablespoons if needed)
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt or sea salt
3 cups chocolate chips (a mix of semisweet, milk, and dark chocolate is recommended)
Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or lightly grease them.
Partially Melt the Butter: Place the butter in a metal bowl and put it in the preheating oven for a few minutes until about half of the butter is melted. Remove and let it cool slightly.
Cream the Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, beat the cooled butter with granulated sugar and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Add Eggs and Vanilla: Mix in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. If the dough is too wet, add flour one tablespoon at a time until the dough comes together and is no longer sticky.
Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold the chocolate chips into the dough using a spatula or wooden spoon.
Scoop and Shape Dough: Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. For larger cookies, use about ¼ cup of dough per cookie.
Bake: Bake for 10–12 minutes for large cookies, or 8–9 minutes for smaller ones. The edges should be golden brown, and the centers slightly soft.
Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
