Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 2 sticks of salted butter (softened)
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 3 cups 12 oz all-purpose flour *If at all possible, please weigh the flour (I used 1 oz more flour for high altitude baking)
  • 1 tsp. smallish-medium coarse sea salt *please do not use table salt
  • 1 tsp. baking soda
  • 1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
  • 2 cups/16 oz of semi-sweet chocolate chips *I use Nestle Toll-House

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 360 degrees.
  • Cream butter, sugar, and brown sugar until it is nice and fluffy (approx. 5 minutes on medium speed on a K-5). Add both eggs and vanilla and beat for an additional 2 minutes. Add baking soda, baking powder, salt, and flour until cookie batter is fully incorporated. Finally add chocolate chips until well distributed. The cookie batter should be somewhat thick. Drop about 2 tablespoons of dough or use a medium cookie scoop and plop the batter onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Bake for 12-14 minutes until the edges are nice and golden brown. Remove from heat and allow the cookies to stay on the cookie sheet for an additional 2 minutes. Pick up the parchment paper with the cookies still on top and transfer to a cool non-porous surface. Allow the cookies to cool on the paper for at least 3 minutes before serving
