Ingredients

  • 1 cup Softened Butter
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1 cup Light Brown Sugar
  • 2 whole Eggs
  • 2 teaspoons Vanilla
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 3 cups Plus 2 Tblsp Unbleached All Purpose Flour
  • 12 ounces, weight Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips

Method

  • Mix butter and sugars in stand mixer. Next mix in eggs and vanilla. Then add salt and baking soda making sure to combine thoroughly.
  • Add flour into wet mixture about a third at a time and stir to combine but don't over mix. Stir in chocolate chips. Dough will be stiff.
  • Scoop out onto parchment lined baking sheets and bake at 350 degrees for 12-14 min. Turn baking sheets halfway through baking because ovens are always hotter in back.
  • You can use all sizes of scoops. Just adjust timing accordingly. Take cookies out of the oven when the center still looks underdone and edges are turning golden brown.
  • Let cookies rest on baking sheets for 5 or 6 minutes after removing from oven. Then transport to cooling rack.
  • Dough freezes beautifully. Scoop out on to sheets and put in freezer. When frozen, put into zip-top bags. Bake at 325 for 20-22 minutes.
