Why This Recipe Works

• Using high-quality ingredients, especially dark chocolate and pure vanilla extract, elevates the flavor of the cookies exponentially.
• The use of a combination of white and brown sugar provides a richer flavor profile compared to using just one type of sugar.
• The slightly crispy edges and chewy center are achieved by baking the cookies for an optimal amount of time.

Key Ingredients

When it comes to ingredients, using the best quality makes all the difference. For the chocolate chips, I highly recommend using Guittard semi-sweet chocolate chips or similar high-quality option.

When it comes to vanilla extract, it’s essential to use a pure vanilla extract that is 100% from real vanilla beans. This will give the cookies a richer, more complex flavor.

Yield:
4 Servings

Ingredients

2 sticks of unsalted butter, softened

3/4 cup white granulated sugar

3/4 cup brown sugar

2 large eggs

2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon salt

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Directions

1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.

2

In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugars until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

3

Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.

4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.

5

Stir in the chocolate chips. Drop rounded tablespoonfuls of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden brown.

Storage & Reheating

Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For best results, reheat in a toaster oven or oven at 300°F (150°C) for 5-7 minutes or until warmed through.
