Chocolate Chip Cookies

Recipe by The Honey Blonde

There is a whole lot of chocolate chip cookie recipe out there but these are the best!

Ingredients

• 2¼ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup butter (softened)
• ¾ cup granulated sugar
• ¾ cup packed brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 tsp coffee extract
• 2 eggs
• 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
• sea salt

Method

1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
2. In a separate bowl, or bowl of a stand mixer, beat the butter and sugars until light and fluffy, about 1 minute. Then add in the eggs and extract and mix until combined.
3. Pour in the flour mixture in two stages. Add in first half and mix until combined. Then add in second half and just barely mix in. There should still be a lot of flour that hasn’t been incorporated. Now add the chocolate chips and mix until flour is just barely combined.
4. Dump the dough out onto a sheet of plastic wrap, flatten into a disk, then wrap and chill for 1 hour.
5. Once dough has chilled, form into 1 tbsp balls of our dough. Place balls on the baking sheet and sprinkle the tops with sea salt. Chill the dough again for another 15 minutes.
6. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Remove the dough balls from the freezer and make sure they are at least 1 to 2 inches apart. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes until the edges are browned.
7. Remove from the baking sheet while they are still warm from the oven and cool on a wire rack.
