Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • cups all-purpose flour Spoon into the cup and level for accuracy
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt or flaky sea salt
Wet Ingredients
  • 14 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup packed light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Chocolate Chips
  • 3 cups chocolate chips (mix semisweet and dark for depth) Optional: extra chips for topping

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk melted butter with granulated and brown sugar until glossy and smooth.
  3. Beat in eggs one at a time, mixing until each is incorporated. Stir in the vanilla.
  4. Add the flour mixture in two additions, folding gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Fold in the chocolate chips, reserving a handful to press on top before baking.
  6. Cover and chill the dough in the fridge for at least 1 hour (overnight is better).
Baking
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Portion the dough into tall mounds using a large cookie scoop, rolling them lightly into domes. Space them well apart and press reserved chips on top.
  3. Bake for 12 to 16 minutes, until edges are golden and centers still look a bit soft.
  4. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 8 to 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
