Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (227g) unsalted butter, softened (European-style recommended)
  • 1 cup (200g) packed dark brown sugar
  • ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 2 ¼ cups (280g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups (340g) chocolate chips or chunks (mix of semi-sweet and dark chocolate preferred)
  • Flaky sea salt (optional, for sprinkling)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup softened unsalted butter, 1 cup packed dark brown sugar, and ½ cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3–4 minutes.
  3. Beat in 2 large eggs, one at a time, then add 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1 teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring on low speed or folding with a spatula until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms.
  6. Fold in 2 cups chocolate chips or chunks evenly throughout the dough.
  7. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill the dough for at least 30 minutes (up to 2 hours).
  8. Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart. Sprinkle flaky sea salt on top if desired.
  9. Bake for 10–12 minutes until edges are golden but centers look slightly undercooked.
  10. Let cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Notes

Chilling the dough is crucial for soft, chewy centers and crisp edges. Use brown sugar generously for moisture and caramel flavor. Pull cookies out when centers look slightly undercooked. Store cookies in an airtight container with a slice of bread to keep them soft longer. For gluten-free or vegan versions, substitute ingredients as noted in the blog.
