Ingredients
  

For the Dough
  • 2 cups All-Purpose Flour Provides structure to the cookies; using a gluten-free blend can cater to dietary needs.
  • 1 cup Unsalted Butter Adds richness and flavor; ensure it's softened for easy mixing.
  • 3/4 cup Light Brown Sugar Contributes a hint of caramel flavor; you can substitute with coconut sugar for a healthier option.
  • 3/4 cup Granulated Sugar Sweetens and enhances browning; adjust measurements to your preferred sweetness level.
  • 2 large Large Eggs Bind the ingredients together and provide moisture; for a vegan option, a flaxseed mixture can work well.
  • 2 cups Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips Bring delightful sweetness and texture; dark chocolate can be used for less sweetness or milk chocolate for a creamier bite.
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda Act as a leavening agent to help the cookies rise; be cautious not to use expired baking soda for optimal results.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt Enhances all the flavors in the cookies; using coarse sea salt offers a gourmet touch that balances sweetness.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine softened unsalted butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Use an electric mixer to cream until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
  3. Add in the large eggs and a splash of pure vanilla extract to the creamed mixture. Beat until fully incorporated and smooth.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined.
  5. Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly into the dough without overmixing.
  6. Drop heaping spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches space between each scoop.
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are lightly golden and centers appear soft.
  8. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Serve warm with a glass of milk or let cool slightly for a cozy treat.
