Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- ¾ cup brown sugar (packed)
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips or chunks
- Optional: sea salt flakes for topping
Instructions
- Beat cold cubed butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until creamy but thick.
- Mix in eggs and vanilla until the dough is rich and velvety.
- In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and salt. Slowly add to the wet mix until a thick dough forms.
- Fold in chocolate chips.
- Scoop large dough balls and chill for at least 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake chilled dough balls for 12–14 minutes until golden at the edges but still soft in the center.
- Let cool slightly, then sprinkle sea salt on top if desired.
Notes
- Using cold butter helps achieve a thick, bakery-style texture.
- Chilling the dough prevents excessive spreading.
- For extra gooeyness, slightly underbake the cookies.
