Ingredients

• 1 cup (softened) unsalted butter
• 0.75 cup granulated sugar
• 0.75 cup brown sugar (packed)
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 large egg
• 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 tablespoon milk (optional for adjusting dough texture)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to cream together the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy (approximately 2-3 minutes).

Step 2

Add the vanilla extract and eggs to the bowl. Mix until fully incorporated, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.

Step 3

In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.

Step 4

Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 5

Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips using a spatula or wooden spoon to evenly distribute them throughout the dough.

Step 6

For a more structured dough, refrigerate the mixture for 20-30 minutes. Skip this step if you plan to eat the dough raw and prefer a softer texture.

Step 7

To bake cookies, preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 8

Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown but the centers remain soft.

Step 10

Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

If enjoying raw, ensure the flour is heat-treated to kill any potential bacteria. Simply bake the flour spread on a baking sheet at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes and let it cool before using.
