Ingredients
– 3 cups all-purpose flour for structure
– 1 teaspoon baking soda for spreading and browning
– 1 teaspoon fine sea salt for balancing sweetness and deepening flavor
– 2 sticks unsalted butter, at cool room temperature, about 67°F for rich buttery base and soft chewy texture
– 1/2 cup granulated sugar for spread and crispness
– 1 1/4 cups lightly packed light brown sugar for moisture chew and caramel flavor
– 2 teaspoons vanilla for bringing out chocolate flavor
– 2 large eggs, at room temperature for binding dough and richness
– 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips for melty pockets
Notes
🌡️ Use butter at exactly 67°F (cool room temp) to avoid flat, spread-out cookies.
⏰ Chill dough scoops 24-72 hours for superior flavor development and thick texture.
📏 Measure flour by spoon-and-level method or digital scale for perfect consistency.
