*Chocolate Chip Cookies*
|
|
|
|
## Ingredients
|
|
- 2 1/4 cups (280g) all-purpose flour
|
|
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
|
|
- 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
|
|
- 1 cup (2 sticks / 226g) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
|
|
- 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
|
|
- 3/4 cup (165g) packed light brown sugar
|
|
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
|
|
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
|
|
- 2 cups (340g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
|
|
- 1 cup (170g) milk chocolate chips (optional, for extra chocolate)
|
|
- Flaky sea salt for topping (optional)
|
|
|
|
## Instructions
|
|
1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two baking sheets with **parchment paper**.
|
|
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together **flour**, **baking soda**, and **salt**. Set aside.
|
|
3. In a large bowl or stand mixer, beat softened **butter** with both **sugars** on medium speed for 2-3 minutes until light and fluffy.
|
|
4. Beat in **eggs** one at a time, then add **vanilla extract**. Mix until well combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl.
|
|
5. With mixer on low speed, gradually add the **flour** mixture. Mix just until no flour streaks remain (don't overmix).
|
|
6. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to fold in **chocolate chips** until evenly distributed.
|
|
7. Cover bowl with **plastic wrap** and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 72 hours for even better flavor). Cold dough = thicker cookies!
|
|
8. Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to form balls (about 2 tablespoons each). Place 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheets.
|
|
9. If using, sprinkle a tiny pinch of **flaky sea salt** on top of each dough ball.
|
|
10. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden brown but centers still look slightly underdone.
|
|
11. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes (they'll continue to set), then transfer to a wire rack.
|
|
12. Serve warm or at room temperature. Best enjoyed with cold **milk**!

## Notes
|
|
### Tips for Success
|
|
- **Room temperature ingredients**: Softened butter and eggs create the best texture
|
|
- **Don't skip chilling**: Cold dough prevents spreading and creates thicker cookies
|
|
|
|
### Variations
|
|
- **Brown butter cookies**: Brown the butter for a nutty, caramel flavor
|
|
- **Thick and bakery-style**: Increase flour to 2 1/2 cups and chill overnight
