Ingredients

  • 1 cup (227 g) Butter unsalted Room temperature
  • cup (73.33 g) Light brown sugar
  • ¾ cup (150 g) Sugar white
  • 2 (2) Egg
  • 2 ¼ teaspoons (2.25 teaspoons) Vanilla Extract
  • 2 ½ cups (312.5 g) All-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoon (1.5 teaspoon) Baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon (0.5 teaspoon) Kosher Salt
  • 1 ½ cups (262.5 g) Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chip

Instructions

  • Weigh or measure the brown (See Recipe Notes below)and the white sugars and set them aside. In another bowl, weigh the flour, Kosher salt, baking soda and run a whisk through to blend.
  • In a stand mixer, mix the butter and sugars on a medium speed for 2-3 minutes until light and fluffy looking. Add the vanilla extract, then add one egg at a time, mixing until blended (See Recipe Notes below). I scrape down the sides and across the bottom. Slowly mix the dry ingredients into the wet until everything is combined. Add the chocolate chips and mix for a few seconds; mix by hand if they look unevenly distributed throughout the cookie dough.
  • Refrigerate for about 10 minutes while the oven is heating up.
  • Heat oven to 350°F (175°C or 180°C), line 2 baking sheet pans with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Using a medium cookie scoop, add 12 scoops to a sheet pan. Bake for 12-14 minutes until the edges are golden brown. I leave them on the baking sheet for 1 minute before moving to a cooling rack to finish.

Notes

An alternative is you can swap out the light brown sugar for dark brown sugar. Another choice is to add ½ tablespoon of unsulphured molasses. Either of these options will give you a more molasses taste. I like Grandma's Original.
