Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 large eggs
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 bag (12 ounces / 340 grams) semi-sweet chocolate chips
Sweeteners and Fats:
- 2 cups light brown sugar
- 1 stick (113 grams / 4 ounces) butter, softened (salted preferred)
Flavor Enhancers and Leavening Agents:
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
- Prepare the oven environment at 350F (175C), positioning the rack in the center and lining baking sheets with parchment paper or applying a light grease coating.
- In a spacious mixing bowl, thoroughly blend softened butter with brown sugar using an electric mixer until the texture becomes airy and pale, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Incorporate eggs individually into the butter-sugar mixture, ensuring complete integration after each addition, then introduce vanilla extract and mix until smooth.
- Separately, sift together flour, baking soda, and sea salt, creating a uniform dry ingredient blend.
- Gently fold dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring minimally to prevent gluten development, stopping when ingredients are just combined.
- Delicately introduce semi-sweet chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the dough using a spatula.
- Utilize a cookie scoop or tablespoon to portion dough onto prepared baking sheets, maintaining approximately 2 inches of spacing between each mound.
- Position cookie-laden sheets in the preheated oven, baking for 8-9 minutes until edges turn golden and centers appear slightly soft.
- Remove from oven and allow cookies to rest on the baking sheet for 2-3 minutes, enabling residual heat to complete the cooking process.
- Carefully transfer cookies to a wire cooling rack, permitting them to reach room temperature or indulge while still warm for maximum enjoyment.
Notes
- Use room temperature butter for smoother creaming and better cookie texture, ensuring even mixing and soft consistency.
- Opt for dark brown sugar for deeper caramel notes and richer flavor profile in the cookies.
- Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking to prevent excessive spreading and create thicker, chewier cookies.
- Experiment with different chocolate chip varieties like dark, milk, or mix chocolate types for unique taste experiences.
