Total Time: 27 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup packed light-brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon coarse salt
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups semisweet and/or milk chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats to prevent sticking.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and baking soda. Set this mixture aside for later use.
- In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and light-brown sugar together on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the coarse salt and pure vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture, mixing until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, beat the two large eggs until they are slightly frothy. Gradually add the beaten eggs to the butter mixture, mixing until fully incorporated.
- Slowly add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to tough cookies.
- Fold in the semisweet and/or milk chocolate chips with a spatula or wooden spoon until they are evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, portion out the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading during baking.
- Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown and the centers are still soft. Remember that cookies will continue to cook slightly after being removed from the oven.
- Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to wire racks to cool completely.
- Once cooled, serve the buttery crisp XXL chocolate chip cookies to Santa, or store them in an airtight container to keep them fresh for later enjoyment.
Tips
- • Use room temperature butter and eggs for smoother, more evenly mixed dough • Don't overmix the batter - mix just until ingredients are combined to keep cookies tender • Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking for thicker, more structured cookies • Use a mix of chocolate chip varieties for complex flavor depth • Use a cookie scoop for uniform size and even baking • Let cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes after baking to set their structure • Store in an airtight container to maintain that perfect crisp-and-chewy texture • For extra indulgence, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top before baking
