Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup (200g) packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups (270g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 1/2 cups (255g) semi-sweet chocolate chips or chunks
  • Flaky sea salt, for sprinkling (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and kosher salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed or by hand until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips or chunks.
  7. Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each mound. For thicker cookies, press the dough balls slightly flatter on the top but leave the sides tall.
  8. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers look slightly underbaked.
  9. Remove the sheets from the oven. Immediately sprinkle the tops of the cookies with flaky sea salt, if using.
  10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For extra gooey centers, use a mix of chocolate chips and chopped chocolate bars.
  • If your butter is too hot when you mix the sugars, the cookies may spread too much. Let it cool slightly before proceeding.
  • These cookies stay soft for days when stored in an airtight container at room temperature.
