Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe
Ingredients
1 1/4 cups Butter, room temperature
1 cup Brown Sugar, firmly packed
2/3 cup Sugar
2 Eggs
1 tsp Vanilla Paste, or extract
1 tsp Salt
1/2 tsp Baking Soda
2 3/4 cup All Purpose Flour
3/4 cup Milk Chocolate Chips
1 1/2 cups 70% chocolate discs, cut in half; or semi-sweet chocolate chips
Maldon Salt for sprinkling
Directions
Preheat oven to 325F
In the bowl of a stand mixer or a large mixing bowl, beat the room temperature butter and both sugars together until fluffy and light in color
Scrape down the side of the bowl and add one egg at a time, making sure to stop and scrape down the sides of the bowl as you go. Add vanilla extract or paste.
In a medium bowl, combine the salt, baking soda, and flour. Add into the cookie batter in three equal increments, making sure to stop and scrape down the sides of the bowl. Once all the flour has been incorporated and the dough is homogeneous, fold in both chocolate chips with a spatula.
With an ice cream scoop or a spoon, scoop about two tablespoons of dough and place on a parchment lined baking sheet, making sure to leave space for the cookies to double in size. Once you have a full sheet tray, sprinkle the Maldon Salt over each cookie and place in the preheated oven. Bake the cookies until they are a nice golden brown on the outside, about 14 minutes. For the best results, make sure to turn them halfway through and cool on a wire rack.
