Ingredients
  

For the Cookie Dough
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened Room temperature for easy creaming
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar Light or dark both work
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour Measure by spooning into the cup and leveling
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups chocolate chips Semisweet, milk, or a mix
  • Flaked sea salt for topping Sprinkle on top of cookies before baking

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or use ungreased pans.
  2. In a large bowl, cream the softened butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
  3. Add the vanilla. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing until each egg is fully incorporated.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients. Mix just until the dough comes together.
  6. Fold the chocolate chips into the dough so they’re evenly distributed.
  7. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the baking sheets. Leave about 2 inches between cookies.
  8. Sprinkle a pinch of flaked sea salt on top of each mound of dough.
Baking
  1. Bake for 9 to 11 minutes. The edges should be golden while the centers still look slightly soft.
  2. Let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
