  • Notes:

    *please do not use table salt, the sea salt gives the cookies a nice flavor and hints of texture. If you only have table salt, use 1/2 tsp. *When using sea salt, you will get small crunchy flecks of salt when you bite into the cookie. If you do not like this taste, go with 1/2 teaspoon of table salt. *I realized grocery stores sell bags of chocolate chips in 12 oz bags but this recipe really needs every last chip. Otherwise you’ll get cookies with only a few chips in each one and this recipe requires lots of chocolate to bulk the cookie up. You’ll need about 1 1/2 bags.

Number of Servings:

Ingredients:

  1. 2 sticks - Butter softened
  2. 1/2 cups - Sugar
  3. 1 1/2 cups - Brown sugar Packed
  4. 2 - Eggs
  5. 2 teaspoons - Vanilla extract
  6. 2 3/4 cups - All pupose flour (12 oz.) *If at all possible, weigh the flour
  7. 3/4 teaspoons - Smallish/medium course Sea Salt
  8. 1 teaspoons - Baking Soda
  9. 1 1/2 teaspoons - Baking Powder
  10. 2 1/4 cups - Semi-Sweet chocolate chips

Directions:

Preheat oven to 360 degrees. Cream butter, sugar, and brown sugar until it is nice and fluffy (approx. 3 minutes on medium-high 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. Enjoy!
