Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted butter (at room temperature)
- ½ cup non hydrogenated margarine
- 1 cup brown sugar (packed)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 ¼ cups all purpose flour (divided)
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon fine sea, kosher or table salt
- 1 350 gram bag semi sweet chocolate chips
Directions
1. | Preheat oven to 350F In a large bowl, cream butter, margarine and both sugars until smooth. Add eggs one at a time and stir to combine. Add vanilla and stir until combined. |
2. | In a separate bowl combine 2 cups of flour, baking soda and salt. |
3. | Gradually add flour mixture to butter/sugar/egg mixture and stir until incorporated. If the dough feels too sticky to roll into a ball (the dough should stick very minimally to your fingers when it's perfect), add the additional ¼ cup of flour. |
4. | Add chocolate chips and stir to combine. |
5. | Using about a heaping Tbsp of dough, roll in to balls. Place 2-2 ½ inches apart on a lined baking sheet. |
6. | Bake for 10-11 minutes. The cookies when done will be puffed up and will have a very slightly browned outer edge. Cool slightly before transferring to a wire baking rack. |
