Cookies are one of the easiest deserts and snacks to make. So I will tell you
how to bake cookies. Here is a list on what you will need to make cookies. And
the instructions.
2 sticks (1 cup) salted butter, at room temperature
2/3 cup granulated sugar
2/3 cup packed light brown sugar
1 Tbsp. vanilla extract
2 large eggs
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. kosher salt
8 oz. good-quality semisweet chocolate, chopped into chunks
4 oz. good-quality dark chocolate, chopped into chunks
Sea salt, for sprinkling
Line 3 baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment,
cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown
sugar on medium-high speed until light and fluffy,
2 to 3 minutes, scraping the sides of the bowl as needed.
Add the vanilla and eggs and beat on medium speed until
just combined. Add the flour, baking soda, and salt and mix
on low speed until just combined. Remove the bowl from the
mixer and stir in the semisweet and dark chocolate using a
wooden spoon or rubber spatula.
Use a 1/4-cup scoop to scoop the dough, making sure to scrape
the scoop against the side of the bowl to flatten the top.
Scoop onto the prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart
to give them space to spread while baking. Sprinkle a pinch or
two of sea salt on top of each cookie dough mound. Refrigerate,
uncovered, for at least 20 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Bake until golden brown, 17 to 18 minutes. Let the cookies
cool and crisp up on the baking sheets.
