Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter softened, but still slightly cold
  • 1 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 cups semisweet chocolate chips divided
  • 2 cups mini chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees and line a few baking sheets with parchment paper.
    Cream butter and sugar together in the bowl of a stand mixer at medium speed with a paddle attachment.
  • Mix in eggs and vanilla and beat until creamy and smooth.
  • Add baking soda, salt, and flour and mix until dough forms.
  • Mix in 1 cup of regular-sized chocolate chips.
  • Combine the remaining mini chocolate chips and regular-sized chocolate chips together in a separate bowl.
  • Scoop dough using a 3 Tablespoon-sized scoop and press each dough ball into the chocolate chips.
    Cover the dough COMPLETELY with chocolate chips, except for the bottom.
  • Place the cookie dough balls onto a baking sheet.
  • Bake 6 cookies at a time for 10-12 minutes. The bottoms of the cookies should be golden.
  • Use any leftover chocolate chips to add to the cookies after they are baked, to fill in any empty spots.
  • Sprinkle cookies with sea salt flakes.
  • Let cookies cool COMPLETELY on the baking sheet.
  • Once the cookies have set up and the chocolate chips have hardened you can store them in an airtight container.
  • Cookies are best eaten within 2-3 days for freshness.

Notes

I bake with LIGHT colored baking sheets. I prefer light baking sheets to dark because they bake more evenly and the bottoms of the cookies don’t brown as quickly.
