24 servings · 25 minutes prep · 12 minutes cook
Ingredients
Main
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 16 tbsp unsalted butter, browned and cooled to room temperature
- 3/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 12 oz bittersweet chocolate chips or chopped chocolate
Directions
Method
- Whisk all purpose flour, baking soda, and kosher salt in a bowl until evenly combined.
- Whisk unsalted butter, dark brown sugar, and granulated sugar until glossy and thick. Beat in eggs, then mix in vanilla extract.
- Fold in the dry ingredients just until no floury streaks remain, then fold in bittersweet chocolate. Cover and refrigerate the dough for 24 hours so the flour hydrates and the flavor deepens.
- Heat the oven to 350F. Scoop 2 tbsp portions onto parchment-lined sheet pans, leaving room for spread.
- Bake until the edges are golden and the centers still look soft, 10-12 minutes. Cool on the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a rack.
