Description
A classic recipe for delicious chocolate chip cookies.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups minus 2 tablespoons cake flour
- 1 ⅔ cups bread flour
- 1 ¼ tsp baking soda
- 1 ½ tsp baking powder
- 1 ½ tsp salt (decrease to 1 tsp if using salted butter)
- 1 ¼ cups unsalted butter
- 1 ¼ cups light brown sugar
- 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste
- 20 oz bittersweet chocolate fèves, disks, or chocolate bars
- Flakey Sea Salt (for sprinkling on cookies)
Instructions
- If you’re using chocolate bars rather than féves, chop the chocolate bars until ¼-½ inch pieces and set aside.
- Sift together the flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder. Set aside.
- Using a standing mixer with a paddle attachment or a hand-held mixer with a large bowl, cream the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar on medium speed for 4-5 minutes until fully combined and light and fluffy. Be sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl as necessary.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, making sure to fully incorporate each egg before adding the next. Then mix in the vanilla until combined.
- Gently add the flour mixture and mix until just combined. Do not over-mix the dough or it can get tough.
- Gently fold in the chocolate pieces using a spatula.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat and place about 3 ½ oz balls of dough onto a baking sheet. At this point, you can place them close together, as you will not be baking them just yet.
- Flatten any pieces of chocolate that are sticking out of the tops of the cookie dough balls. Then, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt and cover with plastic wrap. Place in the fridge for 24-36 hours (or up to 72 hours).
- When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350 ℉.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment or a silicone baking mat.
- Place 6 balls of dough on the pan, leaving at least 2 to 3 inches around each cookie. Bake for 18-20 minutes until the edges are browned. Remove from oven, let cool, and enjoy!
Notes
- Allow the cookie dough to chill for the best flavor and texture.
- If using salted butter, reduce the salt to 1 tsp as mentioned.
