Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 225 g unsalted butter softened
  • 150 g light brown sugar
  • 100 g granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 310 g plain flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 300 g semisweet chocolate chips
  • Flaky sea salt for sprinkling (optional)

Method
 

  1. Beat the butter and both sugars for 3 minutes until creamy.
  2. Beat in the eggs and vanilla.
  3. Mix in the flour, baking soda and salt until just combined, then stir in the chocolate.
  4. Chill the dough for at least 1 hour.
  5. Heat the oven to 180°C. Scoop 2-tablespoon balls onto lined trays, 5 cm apart.
  6. Bake for 10–12 minutes until golden at the edges and soft in the middle. Sprinkle with flaky salt and cool on the tray for 5 minutes.

Notes

Take the cookies out when the centres still look underdone. They firm up as they cool.
