Ingredients
Scale
Dough:
- 1 cup unsalted butter (cold and cubed)
- 3/4 cup brown sugar (packed)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips or chunks
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat the oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl or stand mixer, cream the cold, cubed butter with the brown and granulated sugars until well combined but slightly chunky—about 2–3 minutes.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: Add eggs one at a time, mixing just until incorporated. Stir in vanilla extract.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until a thick dough forms.
- Combine Chocolate Chips: Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Form Dough Balls: Scoop large portions of dough (about 3–4 tablespoons each) and form into tall, mounded cookie dough balls. Place on the prepared baking sheet with enough space between each.
- Bake: Bake for 11–13 minutes, or until the edges are set and lightly golden, but the centers still look slightly underdone.
- Cool and Enjoy: Let cool on the baking sheet for 5–10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
- Using cold butter and larger dough portions helps create thick, bakery-style cookies with soft centers and crisp edges.
- Chill the dough for 30 minutes for even thicker results.
- Add a sprinkle of sea salt on top before baking for a gourmet touch.
