Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoo baking soda
- ½ teaspoon table salt
- 1 cup (2 sticks) salted butter, softened at room temperature
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 cups (about 18 ounces) semi-sweet chocolate chips (plus extra for topping)
- Flaky sea salt (such as Maldon sea salt flakes, for finishing)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk or sift together the flour, baking soda, and table salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, use an electric hand mixer or the paddle attachment on a stand mixer to cream the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and fully combined. This step ensures a rich and chewy texture.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Then, mix in the vanilla extract until the dough becomes light and fluffy.
- Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the cookies soft and tender.
- Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
