Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cream together butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla.
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually mix into wet ingredients until just combined.
Fold in chocolate chips, reserving a few for topping.
Scoop dough onto prepared baking sheet, leaving 2 inches between cookies.
Bake 10–12 minutes, until edges are lightly golden and centers still soft.

For extra thick cookies, chill dough for 30–60 minutes before baking.
Sprinkle sea salt on top for a gourmet touch.
Perfect served warm with a cold glass of milk.
