Ingredients
Scale
Primary Ingredients:
- 2 1/4 cups (270 grams) all-purpose flour
- 2 cups (340 grams) semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup (227 grams) unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
Sweeteners:
- 3/4 cup (150 grams) brown sugar, packed
- 3/4 cup (150 grams) granulated sugar
Seasonings and Leavening:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Warm the oven to a precise 375°F (190°C), ensuring an ideal baking environment for crisp-edged, soft-centered cookies.
- In a spacious mixing bowl, transform butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar into a silky, homogeneous blend using vigorous whisking techniques.
- Introduce vanilla extract and eggs sequentially, incorporating each thoroughly to create a rich, cohesive base.
- Sift flour, baking soda, and salt in a separate vessel, then delicately integrate this dry mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined to prevent overworking the dough.
- Distribute chocolate chips throughout the mixture, ensuring an even spread for consistent chocolate delight in every bite.
- Use a spoon or cookie scoop to place rounded dollops of dough onto ungreased baking sheets, maintaining uniform size for consistent baking.
- Slide the sheets into the preheated oven, allowing cookies to transform for 9-11 minutes until edges turn a golden-brown hue and centers remain slightly soft.
- Allow cookies to rest on the baking sheet for 2-3 minutes to firm up, then carefully transfer to wire cooling racks to complete the cooling process.
Notes
- Use room temperature butter for smoother creaming and better cookie texture.
- Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking to prevent excessive spreading and create thicker cookies.
- For gluten-free version, swap all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free baking blend.
- Add a sprinkle of sea salt on top just before baking for a gourmet flavor boost and elegant finish.
