Ingredients

1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

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.
