Ingredients:
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
- Optional: Sea salt flakes for topping
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- Cream the Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Combine and Add Chocolate Chips: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Shape the Cookies: Scoop out large portions of dough (about 1/4 cup each) and roll them into balls. Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving ample space between them (about 2 inches apart).
- Bake: Bake for 14-16 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the centers still appear slightly soft. For an extra touch, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt flakes on top of the cookies right after they come out of the oven.
- Cool: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy the gooey, chocolatey goodness of these Jumbo Chocolate Chip Cookies—a treat that’s both comforting and irresistible!
