Step 1

Preheat oven to 375ºF.

Step 2

Whisk together the flour, salt, and baking soda. Set aside.

Step 3

Whisk together vigorously the sugars and the melted butter for one minute. Whisk in the eggs one at a time, and then add the vanilla.

Step 4

Add the dry ingredients to the wet and stir with the spatula to fully combine. Make sure you’ve scraped the bottom of the bowl and there are no streaks of dry ingredients left. Stir in the chocolate chips.

Step 5

Place dough in the refrigerator for 10 minutes while the oven preheats, then scoop the dough in 2-ounce portions with a cookie scoop (or you can measure out ¼ cup) and sprinkle with a pinch of salt.

Step 6

Bake the cookies 3 inches apart on a parchment-lined baking sheet (about 6 cookies per baking sheet) for 10 minutes, until the edges are set.

Step 7

Must let cool on the sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
