Ingredients:

  • 1 cup (225g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup (200g) packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup (60g) powdered sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp (5ml) pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp (3g) salt
  • 2 1/4 cups (280g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp (5g) baking soda
  • 2 cups (340g) semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions:

  1. Using a mixer on medium-high speed, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and powdered sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy.
  2. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla and salt until the batter is velvety and smooth.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and baking soda.
  4. Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients on low speed, mixing only until the white streaks of flour disappear.
  5. Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips by hand.
  6. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  7. Scoop dough onto sheets; bake for 10–12 minutes for medium cookies or 12–14 minutes for jumbo cookies. Remove when edges are pale golden-brown and centers are slightly underbaked.
  8. Allow cookies to firm up on the hot pan before transferring.
