Equipment
- Skillet
- Large Bowl
- Whisk
- plastic wrap etc.
Ingredients
- 2 sticks of unsalted butter
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 2 teaspoons Diamond Crystal kosher salt
- 2 large eggs
- ¾ cup packed dark brown sugar
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 10 ounces semi-sweet chocolate bits
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside. In another bowl, cream together the butter and both sugars until light and fluffy.
- Add in the eggs one at a time, mixing after each one. Add the heavy cream and vanilla extract, and mix until incorporated. With the mixer on low, gradually add in the dry ingredients until just combined.
- Stir in the chocolate chips by hand. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Using a large spoon, scoop out 2-tablespoon size balls of dough onto the baking sheet.
- Bake for 12-14 minutes or until lightly golden brown on top. Allow to cool completely before serving.
Notes
- When combining the wet ingredients, make sure to mix until just combined. Over-mixing can lead to tough cookies.
- When adding the dry ingredients, mix on low speed or with a wooden spoon until just combined.
- Let the cookie dough chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before baking for best results.
- If you prefer a softer cookie, bake for a shorter time and if you prefer a crunchier cookie, bake for longer.
