Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a baking sheet and set aside.
  2. In a stand mixer (or with a hand mixer in a large bowl), cream butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar for a few minutes. Add eggs and beat until fluffy (a few more minutes).
  3. In a medium bowl, add 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon salt. Add dry ingredients and 1 teaspoon vanilla and mix until combined.
  4. Fold in chocolate chips (we prefer one cup semi-sweet and one cup milk chocolate chips). Use a medium cookie scoop to scoop dough, and roll into balls. Place onto the prepared baking sheet and top dough balls with extra chocolate chips.
  5. Bake for 9–11 minutes.
  6. While still warm, use the back end of a metal spatula to round out the cookies and add any more chips needed. Sprinkle on flaky sea salt if desired. Let cookies sit on the cookie sheet for a few minutes, then remove to a rack to cool.

Notes

  • Pretty cookies. The key to making the cookies look pretty is to add a few chocolate chips on top of the scooped or rolled cookie dough before baking. Use a metal spatula to round out of the cookies once removed from the oven. Add any more chocolate chips, if needed and sprinkle on flaky sea salt, if desired.

  • Store cookie dough. Cover the dough with plastic and store in the fridge for 1-2 days or freeze for 2 months. See How to Freeze Cookie Dough for tips.
  • Store baked cookies in an airtight container for 3-4 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
