  • 2¼ cups280 gAll-purpose flourspooned and leveled
  • 1⅛ tsp5 gBaking soda
  • ¾ tsp4 gSalt
  • ¾ cup170 gUnsalted butter
  • ¾ cup packed165 gBrown sugarpacked
  • ½ cup100 gGranulated sugar
  • 2 large100 gEggsroom temperature
  • 2 tsp8 gVanilla extract
  • 1½ cups255 gSemisweet chocolate chips

Steps

  1. Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat, swirling, until it foams and smells nutty with brown flecks, 5 to 7 minutes. Pour into a large bowl and cool 15 minutes.
  2. Whisk the flour, baking soda and salt in a separate bowl.
  3. Whisk the brown sugar and sugar into the cooled butter until smooth, then whisk in the eggs and vanilla until glossy, about 1 minute.
  4. Stir in the flour mixture just until no dry streaks remain, then fold in the chocolate chips.
  5. Chill the dough 20 minutes so it firms slightly. Meanwhile heat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment.
  6. Scoop the dough into 24 even balls, about 45 g each, and space them 2 inches apart.
  7. Bake one sheet at a time for 10 to 12 minutes, until the edges are golden and the centers look slightly underdone.
  8. Cool on the sheet 5 minutes, then move to a rack to finish cooling.

Food safety: Don't taste raw dough or batter: raw flour and raw eggs can carry germs.
