Ingredients

  • 2 sticks (226 g) unsalted butter softened
  • 1 cup (200 g) packed brown sugar light or dark
  • ½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs at room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 3 ½ cups (437 g) all-purpose flour Note 1
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon coarse kosher salt
  • 2 cups (340 g) semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line 3 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • In a large mixing bowl with a paddle attachment, mix the butter and sugars until well combined.
  • Add the eggs and vanilla extract and beat for another minute or so, scraping the sides of the bowl halfway.
  • Add the flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix until just combined.
  • Stir in the chocolate chips.
  • Using a large cookie scoop (3tablespoons of dough per cookie), shape the dough into 24 balls and place 8 cookies per baking sheet.
  • Bake for 11-13 minutes, or until golden brown. Cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Note 1: For best results, I recommend using a food scale; you can also use the spoon-and-level method, scooping flour into a measuring cup. 
Storage: Transfer cooled cookies to an airtight container, and store at room temperature for up to 5 days. Or, freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature to serve.
