Bring some Disney magic right into your home kitchen with the Grand Floridian Chocolate Chip Cookies. This dough is packed with chocolate chips and requires zero chilling time, so you’re just moments away from chocolate-chip-cookie bliss.
Preheat oven to 325°F and line cookie sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or in a large bowl with an electric mixer, beat the butter and sugars on medium speed until light and fluffy.
Add in eggs one at a time, beating well after each egg. Mix in vanilla extract.
Gradually add in the flour mixture until just combined. Stir in the chocolate chips.
Use a large cookie scoop to scoop 3 tablespoon portions of dough and roll into a ball to smooth the dough. Place each dough ball onto the prepared cookie sheet leaving at least 3 inches of space between each cookie.
Bake in preheated oven for 15-16 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. If desired, immediately sprinkle each cookie with flaky sea salt. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
