Ingredients

  • 1 cup salted butter just softened
  • ¼ cup white sugar
  • 1 ½ cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs room temp
  • 1 TB vanilla extract
  • 2 ¾ cups 12 oz all-purpose flour (use scale if you have one)
  • ¾ tsp coarse salt not table salt plus extra for sprinkling
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 ½ tsp baking powder
  • 3 cups good quality semi-sweet chocolate chunks

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 350.  Be sure butter is just softened enough that it dents a bit when pressed.  Don't let it get too warm or border on melting, or it will not cream up to a fluffy texture.
  2. Place butter, white sugar, and brown sugar in a mixing bowl. Cream the mixture until it is light/airy and fluffy, about 5-7 minutes using electric hand mixer.  Add vanilla and eggs 1 at a time, beating until incorporated.
  3. In separate bowl, mix baking soda, baking powder, salt, and flour together.
  4. Mix wet and dry ingredients until cookie batter is fully combined. If it's easier, mix batter with clean hands. Finally, add chocolate chips evenly into dough.
  5. Drop about 2 TB of dough at a time onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper (helps prevent sticking and allows cookies to spread/rise correctly.)
  6. If desired, sprinkle a tiny pinch of coarse sea salt on top of cookies.  Bake for about 12 minutes, or just until the edges are turning golden brown.  Do not over bake!  The center may appear a bit underdone, but that's fine.
  7. Remove immediately, keeping cookies on cookie sheet for a minute.  Transfer parchment paper with cookies still on top to a cool surface.  Let cool a few minutes on parchment paper before removing cookies.  Still-warm cookies are the best!
