Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- ¾ cup brown sugar (packed)

- 2 large eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips or chunks
- Optional: sea salt flakes for topping
Instructions
- Beat cold cubed butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until creamy but thick.
- Mix in eggs and vanilla until the dough is rich and velvety.
- In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and salt. Slowly add to the wet mix until a thick dough forms.
