Ingredients
The following ingredients have 4 Servings
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter (at room temperature, (If using salted butter, you don't need to add the salt below.))
- 2 cups brown sugar (not packed)
- 1 cup sugar
- 5 cups flour
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 ½ teaspoons salt
- 4 large eggs
- 4 teaspoons vanilla
- 4 cups semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips (about 24 ounces of chocolate chips)
- flakey sea salt (optional)
Instruction
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Cream together sugars and butter with mixer on medium speed (I use my KitchenAid mixer).
- Combine the flour, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl.
- Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the butter/sugar mixture and combine.
- Add the flour mixture and stir to combine.
- Add chocolate chips and stir with a spatula (The batter is thick so I add a cup at a time and just gently mix into the top of the batter and scoop out the cookies from there and then add more chocolate chips as I go).
- Cover cookie sheets with parchment paper or baking mat.
- Using a 1" cookie scoop, place scoops of dough on cookie sheet about 1-inch apart. (You can use a larger scoop but you'll just end up with less cookies.)
- (Optional) Lightly sprinkle with sea salt.
- Bake for 8 – 10 minutes until just barely brown around edges.
