Ingredients

  • 1 cup 2 sticks salted butter, softened
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 1.5 cups brown sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1.5 tsp baking powder
  • ¾ tsp smallish-medium coarse sea salt or kosher
  • cups all-purpose flour 12 ounces If at all possible, please weigh the flour
  • cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 360 degrees. This is not a typo.. three hundred and sixty.
  • Cream butter, sugar, and brown sugar until it is nice and fluffy (approx. 3 minutes on medium-high speed on a Kitchenaid mixer)
  • Add both eggs and vanilla and beat for an additional 2 minutes on medium.
  • Add baking soda, baking powder, salt, and flour until cookie batter is fully incorporated.
  • Finally add chocolate chips until well distributed. The cookie batter should be somewhat thick.
  • Drop about 2 tablespoons of dough or use a medium ice cream scoop and plop the batter onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Bake for 12-14 minutes until the edges are golden brown. Remove from the heat and allow the cookies to stay on the cookie sheet for an additional 2 minutes. Pick up the parchment paper with the cookies still on top and transfer to a cool non-porous surface. Allow the cookies to cool on the paper for at least 3 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
