Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ¼ cups (280 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (227 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup (150 g) granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup packed (165 g) light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 2 cups (340 g) chocolate chips and chunks (mix of semi-sweet chips and chopped bittersweet chocolate)
  • Optional: sea salt flakes for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. Using an electric mixer or wooden spoon, beat the softened butter with granulated sugar and brown sugar for about 3 minutes until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then add the vanilla extract until the dough is creamy and smooth.
  5. Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed or folding gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips and chunks.
  7. Optional: Cover the dough and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour to firm up.
  8. Use a cookie scoop or spoon to drop rounded tablespoons of dough about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Sprinkle sea salt flakes on top if desired.
  9. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until edges are set but centers look slightly soft and underbaked.
  10. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Do not overmix the dough to avoid tough cookies. Chilling the dough helps control spread and intensifies flavor. Bake until edges are set but centers remain slightly wet for the molten effect. Cookies continue to cook slightly as they cool. Optional sea salt flakes enhance flavor. Dough can be frozen for up to 3 months.
