Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ingredients

• 15 oz. unsalted butter, softened (65-70F)
• 10 oz. granulated sugar
• 6.5 oz. light brown sugar
• 11 grams salt
• 8 grams vanilla extract
• 6 oz. eggs, room temperature (65-70F)
• 10 grams baking soda
• 21 oz. all-purpose flour
• 21 oz. chocolate chips

Directions

1. In a mixing bowl, place the butter and sugar. With a paddle, cream the mixture until properly aerated.
2. Add the eggs (25% at a time), scraping after each addition.
3. Sift the dry ingredients together. Add the dry ingredients all at once to the butter mixture. Mix on low speed until almost combined.
4. Add the chocolate chips and mix to incorporate.
5. Scoop the cookies and deposit onto parchment-lined sheet pans.
6. Bake at 325F for 15 minutes, rotating halfway. Cookies are done when edges are firm, but the center is soft and not completely done.

Yield: 2 dozen large cookies.
