Main Ingredients

  • 2 large large eggs
  • 2.5 cups all-purpose flour Can substitute with gluten-free flour blend
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt (or sea salt)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 0.5 cup packed light brown sugar For best flavor
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 3 cups chocolate chips (mix of semisweet and dark) Add extra for toppings

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, sift together flour, baking soda, and salt. Whisk to combine and set aside.
  • In another bowl, melt the butter, let it cool slightly, then mix in sugars, eggs, and vanilla until smooth.
  • Combine the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients and fold them together until just combined.
  • Cover the dough and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  • Scoop 3-tablespoon portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2-3 inches apart.
  • Press extra chocolate chips and sprinkle with flaky sea salt if desired.
  • Bake for 12-15 minutes until the edges are golden but centers are still soft.
  • Let cookies cool for 5 minutes on the sheets, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5-7 days. For longer storage, freeze cookies for up to 3 months.
