Ingredients
Scale
- 2½ cups (350 g) all purpose flour. (I recommend using an 8 oz measuring cup to measure it, fill it with flour using a spoon and then remove the excess with a knife.)
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 cup (226 g) unsalted butter, softened
- 1¼ cup (250 g) packed brown sugar
- ¾ cup (150 g) white granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1½ – 2 cups (12–16 oz) cups semi sweet chocolate chips. (The amount depends on each person’s taste.)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl mix the four, salt and baking soda. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl cream the butter, brown sugar and white sugar. Add the first egg and mix well. Then add the second egg with the vanilla and mix again. Scrape the inside of the bowl to make sure everything is well incorporated. Add the flour and mix it with the spatula until you get a smooth dough. Now add the chocolate chips and mix well to incorporate them. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours.
- Pre-heat over at 375ºF (190ºC).
- After 2 hours form your cookies with the help of an ice cream scoop or two spoons and place them on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Make sure to leave a space of about 2 inches (5 cm) between each cookie and bake them for 10-14 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. Take them out of the oven and let them rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then place them on a cooling rack to let them cool completely.
- If you want to freeze them, place the formed cookies on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper. You don’t need to leave a big gap between them. Cover the baking sheet with plastic wrap and place it in the freezer. Once the cookies are frozen you can wrap each one with plastic wrap and store them in the freezer inside a resealable bag. Once you’re ready to bake them, you can follow the instruction found on step #4.
